Autonumerology Number And Letter Replacements

Private plate companies use a standard set of numbers for letters as replacements. Some are better than others - 8 as a letter B is far better than 7 as a letter F - but sometimes with some creative thought you can squeeze clever words and acronyms out of a seemingly uninteresting number plate.

We've listed each replacement as OK, Good or Great depending on what we think is a good replacement.

Soon we'll be adding in support for multiple numbers (such as the number 13 as a B and the number 777 as an M).

Here's the list of replacements that the companies use:
