Buying Qld plates outright is great, The last plates I had I had a yearly fee it was annoying on top of rego.

I have a couple of sets sitting in the shed that I bought for cars that have since been sold.

I got sick of everyone asking what year my vette was so it got IMA76. I also have 66PHX that was on my 1966 Dodge Phoenix.

Default Re: Personalised Plates

At the risk of potentially offending a number of members on here one thing I just don't get is why people pay good money to get a number plate that says exactly the same thing as the badges that are already on the car.Anyone with half a brain can already see that you're driving a BMW320,CLK300,AUDIQ7,MINI,etc,etc.
Or do you really need to spend $500 to tell the world that you drive a REDBMW,BLKHSV,etc.
Creative,funny or controversial does it for me.

Any worse than putting your name on your car in case you forget it?

That is a special QLD personalised plate where the rear plate is in printed in normal font so other HSV owners can read it easily while the front one is image reversed so FPV owners can read it in their mirrors......

I see this car almost every day. He used to have a red one. Can't believe he wasted $2500 on that plate.
