I've just gone for RS04 HEN, not much use when I eventually move the car on but for £250 I don't really care....

OK I just joined the club after making much decisions on what one to buy

So I went for RS04 REV

Think is keeps in with the theme of the car.

However RS04 REX would have been a good one but 800 quid.

I bought an RS04 plate the day I ordered my RS4, so it was ready and waiting when the car arrived. Just handed the paperwork to the Audi dealer (Camberley Audi) and they did the rest.

Only had 1 person think it was a 2004 car - a parking valet near the Royal Opera House!

Same here, in fact I bought the plate about 18 months before I ordered the car. I could justify dual running it with a company S4 for a year, but no longer!

If any thing it also hides the age of the car, could it be a 07 or a ealy 08 model? :wink:

Well you lot got me thinking !!

So much so i've just bought the registration RSO5 BYE for £250 inc. from the DVLA website and i think it's cheap !!

Other RSO5 numbers were on sale for £699

Will just wait for the RS5 to be launched in the UK and will stick it in the Sunday Times motoring section, got to be worth a grand or more !!

Slightly off-topic, but relevant to the last couple of posts re: buying a plate in advance - I have in my posession on a certificate of entitlement M5 KRU, as I was originally gonna get an M5. I bought it at the same time I bought V8 KRU which I had on my old A6 4.2 Quattro. Of course I went from there to an S8 and then the RS6, so still have the M5 KRU plate. Everytime I look at the certificate, rather than thinking 'hmm, shall I sell it..?', I think 'hmm, shall I look at M5s..'. How ballsed-up logic is that. :lol:
Shall I put it on the '6 for a laugh?

Soz, that's twice I've hi-jacked now. I'll get me coat..

I was messing around with RS04 plates on the DVLA stand at the Autosport/Pistonheads show, and this thread has convinced me I think, what about it in Black and Silver plates on a black avant, anyone done it?

You'd get pulled sharpish by plod...esp up my way. They even moan about the spacing on plates.
