I suggest having a browse of some of the international numberplate threads for inspiration.

Welcome.

The search function is towards the top of the page, just above the first post to the right. Click the down arrow and select advanced search, then type in something like number plate or registration plate and a list of previous topics will come up. Then it is just a matter of time.

Maybe you could have something like MCS, COOPER, MINI etc, or you could use a name from a hobby/theme (like smurfn) or something that describes you.

Good luck choosing a name for your new toy and enjoy !!

Hi there...I thought of a good one but since I ain't gonna be paying so much money for the plates, you might as well use it... It's "MEANY" (I think "MEANIE" is taken).

Good luck.

Good work

Try checking the FAQ section while you're looking around too. Lots of good info in there

most of the good MINI ones that I can think of in victoria are taken, MINIME, MINIAC, MINIxx (where xx is numbers), COOOPR, MINICS etc etc etc are all taken. I'm ordering a custom plate for my car this week, but there's no way I'm putting up here what it is until I've ordered it, 'cos I know it's available and I don't want anyone else to get it!!
Once I've ordered it and confirmed that I'm getting it, i'll let you all know what it is.... I think you might like it....

One I haven't asked about and was considering was SC MINI (as in supercharged mini), or BLOWN S
I just wish we could get the NSW euro style plates, they look excellend on euro cars.

Im getting the euro plates - look great I reckon

No custom plate though... havent really thought about it to be honest. Can you ask your dealer to change the lettering on the euro plate?

If I was you Scotty I'd be trying for N MC 16S if it available.

Luke, here's a few suggestions I have come up with, one or two may even be good!
CPRS-16
CPRSSS
BMW-MCS
MCS-BMW
CPRYES
SMINIS
SSMINI
MCSJOY
MCSFUN
FUNMCS


Hmm, maybe something there will trigger an idea for you??? Welcome to MINI2 by the way.

Hi,

In Sydney BlownS is allready taken, by a very nice lady I met on a track day (see photo).

Check out the RTA site, it allows you to input plates and see if they are available.

What about
