Fillers

Once you’ve chosen what you want your private numberplate to say you might find you don’t have enough characters to fill the plate. Using characters as ‘fillers’ is a great way to find a match and to create a distinctive looking plate. You can find some tips to help you below.

You can use letters as fillers by adding them at the beginning or end of words, or even in the middle.

Xs can be used as kisses and Ss and Zs can be added to the end of words to make them plural or possessive (e.g. GEMS, GEMZ)

Z

You can also repeat letters and numbers. The eye tends to skim over repetitions meaning they can be added without detracting from the important digits of your registration.
