Thumbs up

I have not seen any on this forum.

But has anyone gotten any vanity plates? If so what? If not, what would you put?

I think it's front license plate. Or the plate to put make-up material on for G/F, wife, daughter, mom, or grandma to do the make up

I never understood that either... I just know and call it Personal Plate but I just know that people refer to personal plate as "vanity" plate too so...

Well, basically the standard plates are letters followed by numbers for up to 7 characters total. Personalized plates have 1-6 letters and up to two numbers. Vanity plates feature either all letters or all numbers, so 'BMW E60' would be personalized, but 'BMW LXXX' would be vanity. Vanity also costs more.
