Picked up on the 3rd, first Porsche for the family. From my small road trip home and mini DMV runs... i made the right choice without a question.

My 'new' polar silver family member.

The Riviera blue vehicle is jaw dropping, absolutely stunning.

That's a beautiful one as well. Is that the OEM aerokit front splitter/lip? Overall that looks to be a very well kept and clean example. Enjoy it!! As a recent "new" owner as well, it gets more fun every time I drive it

Knockoff Aero I do believe. Last owner put it on as the original lip had started separating vertical from horizontal mounting area. Fitment is great and looks quite nice for a knockoff piece, as it is practically a consumable knowing its cheap is ideal!

How did you manage to get the number plate C 911 V ?

I thought specialised plates were not made in UK.

I agree with that. I'm unsure if my front lip is OEM or knock-off, but it fits very well and as you said, likely a consumable item. Nice to know the aerokit aftermarket lip fits well in case I should ever go that route

That picture was the previous owners. The number was C9 LLV, with the 'L's' chopped a little and spacing messed with !
You can get any plate made you want online in the UK, just search for 'show plates' obviously not all road legal, but if your not over silly Plod may turn a blind eye?

I seem to recall when I was living in UK that there was a vigorous market in "interesting" number plates because 'show plates' were not allowed. Didn't one have to buy the complete car at one time to get the number. It was said that the most valuable number plate was RR 1 - owned by Roll-Royce and obviously attached to their top of the line model; value priceless!

Could it be that the MoT has moved into the 21st century from the 19th?

plates in the uk can be placed on a retention certificate for £125 this also covers the assignment to the 'next' vehicle.
once travelling down the M1 motorway to London i caught a Ford Escort van, registration number was AML 1,
as i got along side it was Aston Martin service vehicle! i supose that number will not be far behind RR1?
DVLA have auctions of interesting numbers , just google it, you can 'waste' hours looking through them
