Next to a house, a car is likely the
most expensive single purchase a
person will make. While a car can say
a lot about lifestyle, personality and
taste, many people today prefer to
let their personalized licence plates
speak for them.
2
Personalized licence plates are
rapidly becoming a treasured item
for car owners. As a gift for yourself
or someone else, they can make
a statement about a profession,
favourite hobby, status in life or pride
in vehicle ownership.
