    Hmmmm, I'm not too sure about this one, but here you go anyway as it's quite a handsome looking motor.

    Surprised it has a front plate, many owners of performance cars like this give them a miss.

    I can usually work out what they're supposed to be, but this one has stumped me.

    Could it not simply be a standard plate (Mercs aren't my thing)?

    I read it as 'Bad Boy' but I might be reading too much into it.

    Yikes, that's a nice house worth of plate right there

    Saw two that I liked this morning

    41 RON spaced to read 4 IRON on a Merc

    and I'm sure it was 11 CO on a Brabus Smart, but research suggests that's registered to a Merc too, so I'll have to keep my eyes open in case I see it again

    Why pretentious ? it looks a pretty ordinary plate to me which happens to have BOY as the last three digits.

    It's a 2012 plate that's been purposely registered on a 2017 vehicle, so it's not a coincidence.

    Although that is ironic on multiple levels - ie you’ve got to be an absolute muppet to think that should read as ‘muppet’!

    Should it though?

    Way back when that plate was first issued, I doubt whether there were any rules on spacing, whether or not that makes a difference, I don’t know.

    Good point although this one kept spacing:

    This is a bit ambiguous but as there’s no age identifier in these plates, it would seem that 11 or 13mm is what’s required, which is the same as all other characters.

    Saw what looked like "WIFEY" on a RR Cullinan yesterday. Not sure what the actual plate was though as the obvious ones don't show up on the DVLA.

    On the A428 yesterday.

    I wonder if the company was named after the plate. Haha.

    That is not a double yellow, those are premium parking road markings. More convenient than normal spaces for the wealthy.

    Personalised plates aren’t my thing but this one did make me laugh the other day. Got to be some low-key Rolex fan on here, surely
