Front number plate problem
We all know not running a front number plate is a bit of a no no.
This is an idea which maybe a little loop hole in the RTA. Get a "bike rack" number plate. For those who dont know what it is , its a very small number plate supplied by the RTA to be placed on a bike rack . The bike racks normally mount on a toe bar which in most cars covers the number plate. So the RTA will supply you a copy number plate , about the size of a motor cycle number plate to place on the bike rack. Now as far as I understand these plates are completely legal and if you mounted it to the front of your car you may get away with it. Hey it is a legal number plate supplied by the RTA. But smaller !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck |
Use one of these see a COP flip it down...:3DSMILE:

If you have a hoop bumper, get a 427 style street flip lisence plate holder. It folds into nose at about ten mph, flip back at o mph

Ok just spoken to the RTA the plates cost $32 and take 3 weeks to make.
Then you pick them up from the RTA. |
I ve got one of those but it says Bike rack on it.
I have seen Ferraris with really narrow front number plates. Not sure if they are legal though. Wonder what the smallest number plate is you can get through the RTA? I have personalised plates that I got before the rip off days started so there is no annual cost. I am sure if I tried to get them remade in a smaller size I would trigger the special plate price and end up paying an annual fee. There are companies that will make any size plate you want in any colour. Would probaly pass a cursory glance but not close up as they dont have NSW printed on them. Phil:) |
For any Victorians,
The link below from Vicroads. Sect 221 (number plates) and 222 (mounting) sets out what's required. http://www.dms.dpc.vic.gov.au/Domino/Web_Notes/LDMS/PubLawToday.nsf/8d7b8bff8129f677ca256da50082e1c7/938e3268fe84ed0fca256ec40005abe9/$FILE/99-29sr023.pdf |
Nsw Rta Scammers!
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! :D

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