I have had personalised plates for about 8 years (they have been on 4 different vehicles) They only cost $295 once of cost in 2010 .

I changed the letters from Blue to Black when i got my SR 9 months ago (Naughty)  and clear coated them to make them last, but the clear coat has yellowed and looks crap. So Tasplates lets you revise them "from" only $149 which is what the revised ones I ordered today have cost. 

This is before (old photo before I painted the letters black) and what the new ones I have ordered will look like.

The blue colour stands out well Dazz, maybe because the letters & numbers look larger than the red ones. Like to see the real ones when fitted.

Yes John I agree. I assume the red will be the same size in reality. I just took them off their email.  Take about 3 weeks to come apparently. I will post a picture when I swap them over. I have to return the old ones I modified.  Hope they don't growl!

You’ll have to keep buying red cars now Dazz

In uk you have to conform to specific colour for front and rear plate lettering and background colour.

Is that the same for tassie/aust plates

You can pretty much have any colour you wish if you're paying for it.

There was a big choice of combos on the Tassie site...

Not really Craig. They would look great on a white or a black car. At $149 I could afford to change them again when I swap cars anyway.

Nice move, Dazz. Now your plates will fade at the same rate as your car.

OK, no more cracks about fading.

So they should still match then....

Got my revised plates. Very happy. They look so much bettter. Talking of red cars an older lady got out of this yesterday. I thought this RX8 looked awesome with that choice of wheel.

[John B]

They look good Dazz.

As CraigB has mentioned, lotsa styles available, in NSW custom plates cost $300? PLUS $105pa  so can get expensive.
Our RMS/RTA has outsourced the plate sales to MyPlates
Thankfully we got our custom plates way back before they decided it was a good money making scheme ~ NW7171 (got married in 1971 but that # is taken)
Got no excuse on rembering how many years married, eh 

Woops, just playing around on the MyPlates website for custom plate design & the annual fee for these is $454!!

What a rip off no ongoing fees here, once you've bought the plates then that's it...you own em.

Mine are the Platinum plates which are $120, you don't get a choice of letters or numbers which I wasn't interested in anyway but they're great for styling

Looks great Dazz

[Dazzler]

Thanks guys definitely worth a one of $149. I wouldn't have got them if ongoing cost.

Never thought of personalised plates before but as wanted to change mine to a black background (white text) I thought why not.

Thanks for the idea Dazzler !!

No worries. Look forward to seeing them. 

I have seen a couple of people looking at mine today. Think they are more distinctive than the blue or black on white.

I have my initials on my personalised plates had them now for 35 years. The certificate to buy was £100 from the DVLA.
In the UK there are a lot of people not conforming to the regulations and spelling out names. The plates always belong to the DVLA I know of some who have done the above and the DVLA have the powers to take them back when the rules are broken. It is also an MOT failure. Prior to 1972 you could have black background with silver letters after that they all became reflective conforming to regs. Front white background black letters rear yellow background black letters.

We are lucky it's not so restrictive here. Ours are all reflective. Crazy that it varies so much between states over here with regard to cost and choices though.

Yeah was $165 to change mine from white background with maroon text to black background with white text..... or $495 for "personal" plates made up of 3 number and 3 letters, from there to prices rise sharply.

Nice work! I just checked I could have had my DAZ001 plates restyled in White on black background for same price as the red on white. They would have looked good too!
