So i ordered custom plates picked them up today to find the A9XGMH to the right side of plate and not in centre of plate also screw hole on the side of the X so once screw is in it will cover it a bit cant do anything about it they say as thats the font they use and can not move it what a crock of shit $200 a year for lop sided frOcking plates....

[bullitA9X]

And NSW plate system is any better
Were all in the same boat lol

Surely in this day and age you could get the frOcking thing in the frOcking middle???

[Ice]

Why couldnt they read A9XGMH

[bullitA9X]

Just wondering did they have a plate preview page before you ordered
Assuming you ordered online

Yeah mate it looked fine but obviously it's a bit different when stamped i just can't believe they can not put it in the middle...

Why couldnt they read A9XGMH

They could mate but i think it looks better how i got it....

Yeh gotta agree
I'd like it centered

Me too lol....

[mick_in_oz]

Methinks its been centred between the SA and the edge/border of the plate, so technically you could call it centred, but still looks frucked as it is. Screw hole is dodgy also.

 

Maybe they will look better on the car from a lil further away...

Trouble is the number plate light is in the middle of bar so when the plate is on it looks frOcking ridiculous as it's lined up with the A ang G instead of the 9 and M haha

I reckon it's nothing a media-blast, some careful plasma cutter & TIG work, followed by a whole heap of linishing, and a new coat of paint couldn't fix!

Not Victoria, pretty sure Mexicans only pay a one-off fee for custom plates?

Make your own - I did
Just a wall hanger though

NSW plates are crap as well. Ordered XUI172, which in the preview looked like how it does when typed here but low and behold the I on the actual plate has the top and bottom horizontal bits on it and they look shit.

 

There is some very fine print on the MyPlates site that says something like "your plates may not look exactly as shown" and yeah, not even close. As if they can't bloody get the graphics the same, money-grubbing government!...okay, rant over.

 

Feel better now, kept the plates too.

Might look a little bit better further away
Maybe in WA is that far enough

frOcking lol...

Nothing wrong with a good rant about the government haha...

Cut and shut it? I've got mates with yank tanks who have cut their plates down (admittedly, they sit in chrome bumper recesses and stuff which doesn't apply to LH-UC Toranas) and put the ends closer in, because in Vic we can only buy 'H' plates in one aspect ratio.

 

I have the taller and narrower (USDM/JDM) aspect ratio on my daily, but I can't get that size on the H plate scheme. And we certainly can't get custom combinations... we can't even get rid of the maroon colour!

Yeah true but im just frOcking pissed off they can't put it in the middle in this day and age!!!

[8BALL]

There's a place i think in Melbourne? They do custom "show" plates etc.

I had one made for my car because they #@$^%& my plate and refused to replace it. frOcking thing was crooked...
Had the new plate made and can't really tell its not legit. Its even reflective like the proper plate.

Yep im going to look at doing the same mate i was just driving behind a car that had a 3 letter plate and guess what it was in the frOcking middle so they are full of shit that they can't fix my plate....

[8BALL]

They can fix it.






They just cant be fcuked.

Yes mate i agree well i put them on they look ok but i will get centered ones...

[Covert]

Yep, that would annoy me if it was my car.

Probably made by a ricer owner

[Bigfella237]

Yep, now that I see them on the car it stands-out out like dog's balls, especially the front plate with the lower screws.

 

I'd be taking 8BALL's suggestion and see if you can get them remade privately, you shouldn't have to, but such is life.

 

They should even be able to customise the colours for you (if you wanted the letters to exactly match the rear spoiler for example, and/or a red background), I doubt any copper would ever know the difference?

 

EDIT: Actually, silver background with body-colour letters would be even better!

I wonder if you paint the screw heads black if that would look slightly better, maybe not quite so obvious about being off-centre. The cut and shut sounds like a possibility too.

 

Little things like stuff not centred really annoy me too. Stinking rotten government..

Yep plenty of options mate...
