Thread: Custom number plates

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??

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.

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.

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.
