Front number plate problem

[stefanog]

You wouldn't believe this but I called the RTA and asked them the cost of getting my standard issue plate remade into a silver on black premium to suit the car better, they not only charge $30 remake fee but also add on $100 per annum to the already $400 per annum I have been paying for 4 years! So...no new numberplate! They say the "matellic" plate cost $500 per annum. WHAT FOR?? Stuff them! What a jip! I will now be considering handing back the existing plates and getting standard issue next number plates so as to not pay those bastards 1 cent more than I have to!

Welcome to the western world as we know (and allow) it.

I had one of these on my bike, same size number plate as the bike rack plate. Only used when at shows not for street use

I have a slim line front plate and have mounted it in the oil cooler opening.

This may not suit every one, but you could trim down a std sized metal plate and mount it in the same place.

Mine is mounted on the front bumper with a pair of rubber lined circular clips.

This way it can be angled at any position (even flat) if you so wish.

If ever pulled over I could at least have the argument that:

1. The number plate is there; and
2. The wind must have blown it down.

Then quickly recover the phillips screwdriver from the boot and tighten it back into position - just simply too easy

Mind you I may be done for not displaying the plate in a viewable position - Ah well at least I tried!!!
