GR86 The private / cherished / personalised number plates on your GR86 poll

[Tushki]

So my V750 has just arrived, which was a pleasant surprise - I was expecting a delay due to the recent week-long DVLA staff strikes.

A general plate-related question - are existing plates (which are stuck rather than screwed on - and of course recently applied) generally easy to remove?

Is any equipment (e.g. dental floss, hairdryer for warming/softening purposes) advisable?

Mine arrive yesterday .. was pleasantly surprised to see it coming so quickly - within 3 working days.
All set for the delivery now - 5 days to go!
Except that I just sent the "n"th email to the dealer to take deposit for the part and order them in time. I've never seen a more disinterested dealer - clearly they are not making much on it and hence not prioritising GR86 orders.. but there has to be some work ethics and reputation to maintain.

Half a kettle of hot water, and a couple of flat head screwdrivers wedging the plate out off the base so the water runs behind the plate.

Just waiting for my new number plates to be delivered now (from the supplier mentioned by @doogle83 above) and then I can do the online bit, ring the insurer and get the plates on!

Expired - 5 Digit Number Plate D4 OHC

Selling my 5 digit plate I bought for my GR86 which I didn't use in the end. This fits really well on a 355x111mm plate with UK legal font - nice and small. As others have discovered if going on a GR86 it will fit well on JDM/USDM plate holder nicely and you can order them from a Toyota...

I've seen a great looking one for sale!

My plates arrived today - thank you @doogle83 for the supplier recommendation: PFC

The plates are great quality and they arrived much quicker than I thought they would.

I've gone for the standard acrylic text, with no flag/badge, but with a nice silver border to match my car and my hair
