hi, can you let me know which site is the best to buy dvla private
plates from please. Which is the most secure company as I have heard
that some number dealers could be dodgy. I have seen this one
www.personallyyours.co.uk but the site looks old, what do you think?

How about the official dvla website for private plates?
http://www.dvla-som.co.uk/home/

Hi, I bought a number plate for my wife as a birthday present last
month and travelled the web to get the best deal. It does seem that
are some dodgy number plate dealers out there!  I found the same
number plate listed on about 5 websites of different prices. Some of
these web sites looked very slick and other like personally yours very
amateur. The thing is the slick looking sites nearly always charged
more. In the end I bought the number plate online from
http://www.plates4less.co.uk based in Swansea. It seems their prices
are the cheapest and their after sales service was very good. They
don?t supply the actual plastic number plates as party of the deal
like some other firms but apparently it is not legal to supply plates
without actually meeting the customer and checking his or her I.D. 
Personally now I know that I?d be very worry of doing business wit any
number plate dealer who sends out number plates as part of the deal. I
got my plates made up at Halfords over the counter for about   £15 the
pair. There is loads of information for number plate buyers and
sellers at their sister site http://www.vrm-group.co.uk

I saw this site (vrm & plates 4 less) I thought they were "home made"
and for some reason they link to the www.personallyyours.co.uk site
and a lot of other number plate sites. I have noticed a lot of pages
are the same on this site too!Also the VRM and P4 less are not members
of any trade organization which is very worrying. It also seems they
could be passing off as the DVLA. Is this guy working from a back
bedroom??

The best ones I have found in the last few days are www.carreg.co.uk
and www.py-numberplates.co.uk , both are members of all trade bodies
and have aftersales backup. I am just trying to buy quite an expensive
number from the www.carreg.co.uk site, (if they budge a little on the
price :-)
