Custom number plates

[cal415]

Hi all,
I need some help deciding on some plates for my county, my original plates are completely buggered so I've decided while I am getting new ones I may as well go custom ones - bloody expensive though, for standard plates with custom lettering its 110-200 to order them then another 90 per year, for the full custom plates its 200 to order and 440 per year! I don't get why they are so expensive its not like it costs them any more per year for us to have them - NSW RTA are a bunch of thieves.... but anyway, here are my choices

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2009/08/771.jpg
I'm leaning towards just LRC-57L black plates with silver lettering seeing as my truck will probobly be painted silver, otherwise maybe the green and white plates look good too because thats the other possible color... :)

[SPROVER]

I reckon LS1RVR.Suits it well:D

[cal415]

i would love to do the full custom plates, LS1 - RVR and LS1 - LRC are very cool plates, but im doubting my wife will let me spend 440 a year on plates hahaha

[rijidij]

What's with the annual fees...........that's just a bullsh*t rip off.

[cal415]

Yep i couldnt agree more! whats the fee's in other states?

[The ho har's]

We have ..RED 130....cost 440.00 up front ..think that is right....and that is it no annual fees just normal rego but we do pay more for rego up here so I have found out:(

Well ive been around a few sites, to get my prefered plate of LS1-RVR would be (This might be a little off some sites are a bit vague on it)
$2250 in QLD
$495 in VIC
$200pa in SA(can add an extra letter for LS1ROVR)
$365 in WA
$2258.30 in ACT
or
$200 once off and $440PA in NSW!!!

I hate the NSW government....

[cal415]

Oh forgot to mention, i couldnt find any prices for the NT plates...

[SPROVER]

In Vic we pay for the personalised number plates but then thats it.After that its just your normal Rego fees.Glad i dont live in NSW:eek:

[digger]

C0UNTY?
all letters except the zero?.

[richard4u2]

would they notice it if you had w.a. plates :D

[Travis1070]

There is no fee for custom plats in NT i dont think , have a mate up there who has some, and thats what he reckons, although his information is questionable..

NSW is a rip off $400 a year for black on yellow, are you sure QLD is more??

[LandyAndy]

I have LANDYANDY in polycarbonate plates.They were around $390 when my mrs and boy got them,now would cost $495.
BUT,we only have a 1 off charge in WA for them,also you own the plates and are able to sell them for what ever you want.

I just bought some nsw plates DEF 130 for $110.00 then $90.00 per year, thought it ok.

Why bother? It's only a vehicle, you can't go to bed with it.
Beats me why some owners would pay extra for something others laugh at and I'm thinking of the more ridiculous examples in WA like "GDAYM8" a fat git had on his Yank tank in Northbridge, or silly pet names for themselves or their car.
Or they repeat what the manufacturer has already put on the thing!!!
Or they put their family names on the things, how daft can you be?
It's got me beat how people can waste so much money on feeding their own egos.:o

Alan we all make decisions everyday, the type of car we drive, the clothes we wear, life is about what we like and if spending a couple hundred dollars a year makes you feel good, why not!!.

It's not always about ego:

What about my plates?

You'd be surprised at what I can say about this place when people ask what it means. I tell them about a community of interested people who drive land rovers and they are genuinely interested because it is not about ego. For the time being I can afford to do it and I feel that the cause is worthy.

NT is a one off fee of $140 regardless of custom plate.

[Sleepy]

Some do it for love.....

Mine is a tribute to Series 1, Chassis number 1

Hardly ego - no-one notices except other Land Rover nerds like me.


I like your choice, LRC-57L in silver.

That yearly fee was a con, mine was a one off.

Are you sure your name isnt Michael Daley??


I see nothing wrong with customising your car, i may be putting something the manufacturer has put on it already but im also puting my own bit from the hard work ive put in to it on as well....

LOL, jeez, Alan, what else is it for? And that's coming from somebody way too tight to buy some vanity plates. But my ego is as hungry as the next bloke's and I know there is a set of plates in the Murray Shire south of Perth with "MY 110" on an EA Falcon, and I know where they live and as soon as my numbers come up I'm knocking on their door and I'm buying the whole ruddy car if that's what it takes.:cool:

[Disco_owner]

seeing you're soon to be driving a 5.7 Litre environmentally ( note stiring up the "greens" ) disaster of a Vehicle , I reckon to Rub Salt into the wound..........:twisted:;)

Green : LRC57L :twisted:

[cal415]

Hmmmm thats got me thinking

LS1 110 :)

[Grockle]

It's alot different over here,but we've got DNZ 717 which is an old Northern Irish plate but classed as a cherish reg,cost us £425.00 plus £80.00 transfer fee and that's it.

[dullbird]

LRV857 coz it is a landrover V8 can you get the year of the county on the end? rather than the 57

[Reads90]
