UK numberplates help / opinion

i dont know if you guys understand the UK license (sp? ) plate system:-

the first or last letter:-
X 123 ABC (X)
ABC 123 X (X)

Is the year - so my 1996 is a P pre-fix P779 KLS

the rest of the numbers and letters are essentially random, but certain letter combinations are assigned to areas - CLX is london for example..

we dont have any system to randomly choose a numberplate as some states appear to have - so CL 420 MB is not a valid plate.. IYSWIM...




so....
lesson over - I have a rather limited choice on numbers for my car - I can only choose OLDER plates than my car is - i.e. P (1996) N (1995) etc etc (missing I Z O Q reg's for various reasons..

I have settled on these as an idea - by modifying the A to make a 4 with the (illegal.. ) addition of a couple of 'wrong colour' bolts

which do you think is best?

oh - and have a look here for ideas / prices / legalities

and I dont want my name on the plate - I hate that
