So I've seen a few stick on number plates around the traps in different states and am wondering if the owners of the cars have sought special dispensation to have them? Does anyone here have a number plate on their bonnet in lieu of the bumper mounted original?
What piqued my interest is an Elfin sports car on display at the National Automobile Museum in Launceston with a stick on Victoria black and white plate on it's bonnet. I don't have a pic but there's a few cars running around in different states with their plates seemingly matching the original, just in vinyl form. You can see couple on this page:

Haven't tried it in SA but here is what the transport SA site has to say...
"Displaying number plates
Only number plates issued by the Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure and made by the approved manufacturer comply with the requirements of the Motor Vehicles Act.
The display of non-approved plates incurs the risk of a traffic infringement notice and a fine.
Number plates must be visible from the front and rear of a motor vehicle and must not be obscured by a tow ball, load, plastic cover, dirt build-up or any part of the vehicle's bodywork."
Biggest hurdle to avoiding a fine would be getting past the first line where they state only their plate comply

so unless you can convince them to produce the stick ones for SA cars I guess you run the risk of a fine down here?
