Question Cops took my plates :(

Well It finally happened, got pulled over and the cops said my car was to low and took off my vanity plates. I tried to Re-Order the plates and the Ministry will not re-issue the plates saying that it's confusing for the cops....no way...lol..

So now I have to come up with another set of Vanity plates or I will lose my money, any suggestions.... I had 3 in mind

BRYZBENZ
X_BENZ_X
DIRTY230

here are pics of my old plates

Just an observation... Why did they give them to you in the first place?
I guess cops there are just as stupid in CA as they are in the US

The funny thig is I had those plates for 2 years, had them on my 87 BMW 325i, car was stock.... after about 1 year of them being on my Benz they get torn off....I told the cop that the ministry issued the plates, if they thought it was ok why are you giving me a hard time but you can't win with cops...I think a lot of people seen the plate and liked it and were coming up with similar plates and the ministry and cops wanted to take action before thing got out of hand... When i went to the ministry office to re-order the plates the lady behind the counter said she had seen people applying for similiar plates like mine...who knows....but those plates have been retired

I originally got the idea from another car I seen with similar plates but he/she only had 5 letters, I went home and photoshoped 8 letters and imediately loved it

that is a very nice plate!

I would not take X_benz_x because it's "emo" the x before and after a name.

Seeing as they OK'd those in the first place, do you think they'll let you get away with: B88B88BB or possibly: MNNMNNMM or maybe: II1II11I afterall, they are "different".

or you could go with: SLVRARRO or SLVRAROW which ever sounds or looks best.
