New to Airsoft... would like to start my own little outfit just for the looks as I like them, but unfortunately money is kind of an issue for some plate carriers, they cost a lot some of them, so im looking for some up to £120

 
Plenty of JPC type carriers (Modi, Flyye etc) for that, maybe even get a beaten up real one for that. Depends what 'look' you want. 

 
Up to £120 you have a few options. Generally you can get a good deal on used ones that come with all the pouches too, check out the classifieds on here. Plate carriers don't pick up a lot of damage so they tend to be in good condition.

Personally, if you're not completely set on a PC i'd suggest going for a chest rig. Less weight and bulk to restrict your movement and are cheaper.

If you want surplus Osprey, look on Ebay or Etsy.

EBay is your friend if you're looking for for army surplus.  Accessories and pouches are fairly cheap, but the price of the actual carrier has gone up. 

 
Most people use vests because they are cheaper lighter, cooler in summer and typically have more attachment points.

I like PC's for the roleplay tho and am a fanboy for 'Warrior Assault Systems' equipment, their plate carriers are real steel and quite reasonable, although slightly more than your budget. If you can stretch your budget grab a DCS or Recon, they do bundle deals with all pouches etc for maybe £30-40 over your budget in any color. Heres the multicam page.

Alternatively you could get the Novritsch ASPC platecarrier designed for airsoft with better ventallaiton but again a similar price as the Warrior PC's but without pouches.

Otherwise I guess do what others have said and use ebay or secondhand sites like AirsoftHub (paying with paypal product or service).

There's lots available in your budget if you're happy to go with something which isn't a brand name. As others have posted, Ebay is a good place to start
