i have divided opinions on this , i can understand Scathing but i also think having a Good set of Plates sets your car off alot more and if its one of a kind (coff) then its well worth it . $400 a Year is the price ull have to pay . As we dont have much bartering power do we :P

Bottom line is, If you have the Money , why not use it .

LOL- I'm lucky that my company name is HGE. By accident, I stumbled into coolness when

HGE001

HGE32R

got registered in *standard* plates!

Plates are good fun, and say abit about you and the car, but the rip off price the RTA charges for personalised plates makes it harder to justify.

As Scathing says- a lot of mods can be got for the price of the proper personalised plates.

another way of looking at it $4oo is only 1 good dyno tune and service which is normaly done 3-4 times a year on a modified car. $400 for a plate is nothing if you own a modded car.

ie; services/tunes, modifications, labour for all this unless your a spanner head, rego, fancy bits, then hope for nothing to go wrong this year. all im saying is plates can be good n bad. no power and alot of attention.

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
