Hey all

What's your guys opinion on personalised plates? Would you have a pair or are they a no go zone?

Personalised plates or custom plates?
They are two different things here. (In S.A.)

"Normal" plates are 3 letters, followed by 3 numbers
ie ABC-123, our state is currently up to X**-123

"Personalised" plates must still contain 6 characters, letter(s) followed by number(s), but can be any combination of these. 1 letter and 5 numbers, or 5 letters and 1 number, or anything between, provided it's still letters-numbers, 6 in total!
ie A-12345, AB-1234, ABC-123, ABCD-12, or AXELR-8 :)
These have a "one off" fee.

"Custom" plates, can go up to, I think, 8 characters, with little restriction
ie, STARION, 82STAZZ, GADGET, but obviously motor reg would have a problem with EATSH*T or something of the like.
With custom plates, you must pay a yearly licensing fee, and it costs more for each letter over the standard 6, but you have freedom to pick some of the other sizes of plates the motor reg office allows (thin long, square (US style), standard, etc)

Where's the option for already have?

I already bought them. I got WYD01 for my widebody

I got RSRGSR on my toy, which the car came with.
Plates are all good in my opinion.
Used to have QIKVR4 on my old VR4.

just did, got em today
GO 417 (go for it)

$100 per year

and just by coincidence that makes the plates narrow enought to fit in a jap/US numberplate holder..... isnt that lucky ;)

i got the plate ILH00T the 0s are zeros ,so only cost $140ish one of fee

Over here it's just one lump sum payment of $531

Yeah ours is $399 one off to buy the plates, then no fees after that

here I go, personally I reckon that the majority (not all!!!) of personalized platers out there are a bunch of wankers... that said, there are some memorable ones, like "BLOWN57" the black chevy in running on empty...
and DEVIL1 on a lambo diablo...

Yea I asked the question because personally I see them to much on cars I don't like e.g. "SXYGTX" but I've come across one that relates to the starion quite well so I'll update on it when I buy the plate, that's if it's still available when I have the cash :x

I only like decent personalised plates. Like my WYD01 that suites my widebody. Or my brothers which is like 70RQE (torque). But I hate others like SXY01 or 100SR(looser) or something gay like that.

my plates are 'DAZ10N', dont know what it means they came on my staz but yeah i agree i dislike the tossers with personalised plates like '1SLYVK' that is in my town and i just think u loser your car is shit.... and your plates show how shit it is.....

DAZ10N were Daryl's plates that he had on the gold JD that Hoongirl bought off him and I guess transferred onto her white car when she put on her own plates when she sold that to Will who probably kept them on when he sold it to you.

Just change your name to Daz and everything will equalise.

Personally I like GOT5OM

Oh and Cookie has 'Cookie' on his car for obvious reasons.
