Custom Plates

[123456]

I've been on the vplates.com website and i finally figured out some plates i like. They are mixed plates with a number 3 replacing an E. Anyway for some reason when i go mixed plates i can't go slimline. Does anyone know whats the go with this? I don't wana have to cut $500 plates up to fit.

Also are there any other sites that do it?

[R-SPEC]

yeah i was wondering the same thing about not being able to choose slimline for mixed plates.

i've got the perfect plates in mind but i'll only get em if i buy another r33 (r33 related) and got spare cash. otherwise they are pretty much a waste of money.

and why do they cost $495 these days? wasn't it like 300bux or somethin

[dezz]

the number combo plates don't come in slimline.

There are no other sites...the plates are issued by Vic Roads, so naturally they're the only ones that are going to make them...

Just got a call back from vicroads (emailed them other day)

Turns out there speeding cameras have a problem with identifying the smaller numbers on the slimlined plates or something.. Which doesn't make too much sense to me as u can get other slimlined plate designs with numbers on them. Also turns out u cant trim ur plates , as it's defacing them or some crap.. Guess that means i'll get defected for wanting my plates to fit properly, balls

The font on the mixed plates is different to the font on normal plates....thats why the cameras would have trouble with the slimline mixed, but not normal

ohh true.. Thats weird, dunno why they wouldn't keep the same fonts on all slimlined plates That sucks, i had best plates ever picked out.. cost me about 6 hours of work time to -_-

[123456]

123456 of course

i'd say its 0 tolerance...just a matter of how long before a cop decides to do you for it...

Why not take the time to make it fit without hacking it up? Standard plates don't fit on the front of a series 2 R33...but mine are on there, no cutting, no bending. its not hard.

you CANNOT trim or cut plates in anyway. BUT, theres nothing written down (as far as i know so dont hold me to it) about bending the plates to fit. i have never seen a 32 with straight plates on the back. they just wont fit

3 points $169 bux is what they tried to sting me with... but that was ages ago
