Picking Up Personalised Plates Before Car Arrives

I ordered a set of personalised plates through EZYREG in SA, and when I went in to pick them up, I was asked what vehicle they were going on. When I told her I didn't yet have the car she said "then you can't have the plates". Even though I have paid for them she said the agreement was that they were to go on a car. How come then, the website let me order and pay without putting in any vehicle particulars. Mind you I've kept the personalised plates off my previous car and have not heard a squeak out of the rego dept for 3 months.

By putting in the order in you can at least secure the plate number even if you can't pick them up. On the EZYREG site in SA just leave out the details of the "Old Registration Number"

I'll be making a phone call tomorrow to find out if what I was told was correct. If I knew I couldn't pick them up I wouldn't have wasted my time going there, that's what really ticked me off. At least I got to see them...GTR-333 maroon on white. They looked nice for the short time they were in my sight. I should have grabbed them and done a runner.

As I'm thinking about this I remember there was an option to have these plates delivered to my home address. Maybe if I chose that option, I would now have them in my hot little hands.

EDIT

I just tried a dummy run using my address for delivery and not filling in the existing plate information and it wouldn't let me continue with "our agreement".

you cannot pick up custom plates without handing in old plates of the car you want them on...simple as that! :happy: hope this helps.

I've had the same personalised plates on two diff. cars and all I did each was fill out a form stating the old plate number and what the new one was to be. Each time I kept the original state plates and when I sold the cars I filled out the appropriate paper work and I bolted back the original plates that I had kept at home. After selling the last car a few months ago I kept my personalised plates which are still sitting in my shed. Nobody asked for them to be handed back in. This is in Sth Aus.

The thing in my original post was that I went in to pick up my new plates that EZYreg let me order and pay for. I was just surprised I couldn't have them after making a special trip in to pick them up. Maybe I missed the fine print on their website.

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰

      Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
