Hi folks had to share this with someone! I alway promised myself personised plates but could never substatiate the cost. Well take a look at this new line up from the RTA, it cost me $30 to have the plates made and an annual fee of $90.

Whatcha thnk?

They look nice. What are they classed as to be so cheap.

I have "Retro" personalised plates on my car, cost about $260 or something....but no annual fee like you southerner's.

It may not have cost too much but I bet that someone would offer you more than what you paid for them already :wink:

I wanted:-

MK1 . CPR but that sucker is $430.00 extra on top of your annual Rego, plus the ordering fee.

And I am pretty sure that the Rego sticker isnt in Gold Leaf.

Dam you Mexicans, tell me its cheaper because the roads all go one way :wink:

We have MIN167 on our green Mini, they are New England green ones too. Cost us nothing because the PO grabbed them before RTA started making mega$ out of selling plates. 8)

It's bizarre, isn't it?

Personalised plates weren't very popular years ago. But then the RTA jacked up the prices. Now everyone has them. :roll:
