How Many Of You Have Governement Issue Plates?

[IM-32-FK]

How many of you have the standard government issue plates in your state(yellow in NSW). Honestly, i think customised plates make the car look too rice. My ones are IM-32-FK but thats how i bought it....its been like 2 months and i have never got around to changing it

meh

std black and white slimlines are the way to go in nsw, the yellows are butt fugly

custom plates can be nice if done right, none of those cringeworthy "2nv" or "sxc" no offence intended to anyone here

or plates for eg. where you go "no sh%t, it's a good thing you got custom plates spelling out "lancer/civic/commo" I just couldn't tell what it was from the badge and generic styling of the car alone"

Not always the case though, I was behind a VY Commodore today that had a big fat 'BT-50' badge in the centre of the boot

I don't mind standard issue plates really...

I do think that 'Premium' plates are more attractive...

or for European cars, 'Euro' plates too.

Without going over the top for personalised plates...

I do find that over the years, a combination of astuteness and opportunity can help you to reap rewards with purchasing personalised plates, when it comes time to sell the car.

My own examples have been...

MYI.64Q which remained on my Alfa Romeo 164Q

GTR.33Z which remained on my R33 GT-R

N.BM.523 which remained on my wife's BMW 523

Each respective purchaser had an emotional attachment to the existing plate.

I currently have...

GTR.34Z on the GT-R

MY.06.XT on the Forester

I'm waiting atm for...

N.BM.xxx for my wife's 5 series BMW but only as a Gov't issue plate. Currently the 'Euro' plates have crept up to N.BK.xxx

so I'm happy to wait until K > L > M

...now I'm expecting a joke about my familiarity with the alphabet lol

hence the generic styling inclusion

what's even funnier is when they put a chevy badge on, I'm gonna buy a VL and whack on a nissan badge

Sorry what's so bad about those plates???

[Yo-Yo]

Sorry what's so bad about those plates???

just not to my taste, it's all personal preference really

maybe because a lot of cars with those type of plates I see are also 'sex spec' or bog standard 4bangers with horribly fitted rims and chop shop cannon

I have standard WA issued plates (white BG with blue letters/numbers).

IMO the standard plates looks MUCH nicer than the customized ones, if I were to go the customized route, I'm still just gonna go with the standard look except pick my own letters (they are also cheaper than the other customized plates).

+1 on the holden owners putting chev badges on... what a joke!!

why not whack a jag badge on your ford??? haha

I have 3 sets of gen issue VIC plates...all on my wall from cars ive owned that reg has run out on...VicRoads dont give you any money back for the plates...so hell i keep mine!

On my car, i have custom ones, my mum bought them for me as part of my 21st prezzy, honestly for the price you pay they aint realy worth it but as a gift it was nice.

i have what i call "semi-custom plates" they will mean something to anyone who knows skylines but not to the general public. i think that custom plates are a bit of a giveaway to make people think your a hoon. (not saying it does but i just think thats how the general public perscieve them)

my plates are Vic standard issue and are:

[ECR-333]

[GTR-N1]

The only RTA-issue plates that seemed to be in any way significant read, "OMC.111" on a a new '87 R31 Silhouette.

Even the guy who bought the car off me was surprised that I was willing to let them go.
