Private plates in wa

[ssv 08 ute]

Gday all...never been down this path before..
Is there a website to check what numbers etc have already been taken or do i have to go to a licence centre and join the silly long cues !!
No idea what the prices are either..
EXAMPLE ONLY..(YES I KNOW THIS WONT BE AVAILABLE.) 08 SSV

You can call up if you dont wanna wait in queues but you may be on hold for a bit.
900 tops for colour on a custom slimline plate, then 13 bucks a month from memory if you want them to hold on to your original plates.

Thanks for that..after many a google search i finally found it !!
Custom Series plates
Damn ....start at $395

[NonStick Squid]

"many a gooogle search"?? its in the top 10 results for personalised plates??

So what did you have in mind anyways?

[ssv 08 ute]

Many with my limited patience is more than 3 ...lolol
Not to sure but somthing with ssv would be nice.
ssv 2008....not much hope there.
Any other ideas ??

Like you stated before..there is a number i can ring up and check.

[ParkwayDrv]

Yeah it sucks there is no website to check up on My slimline plates were like ~$500

[ssv 08 ute]

Its like ~$500 for slimline acrylic ones, and there is no website to check up on which is lame

As long as i can ring up and check i can live with it.
Couldnt believe some of the stupid prices some people are asking when they try and sell theres !!!

[NonStick Squid]

Yeah too many people out ther buyin them up for the sake of it n not even puttin them on a car..
7 characters is much cheaper than 9 but dont forget a space is a character too so for "ssv 2008" you'd need to buy the 9 character plate not the 7.
If you get somebody nice on the phone see if they can find a variation that isnt taken like 08 ssv or ss v 2008

just a couple of years ago they had it on the dpi website dunno why they got rid of it..

[ssv 08 ute]

Ahh right...so.... ssv 2008 counts as 8 letters correct (the gap counts as 1.
Ill start making up a list shortly and see whats available.
Im happy to stick with the aluminim ones...would prefer white lettering on black

[NonStick Squid]

yeah white on black is pretty much fool proof. I will definately recommend you invest in some lock rivets so they dont get stolen like my mates did.

Thanks for the advise...hadnt though of that !!!
Mongrels will pinch anything these days

[NonStick Squid]

Yeah no problems bud post some pics when you get them hey. I'll check back to this thread every few days

[ParkwayDrv]

rofl yeah, some people try to sell stupid plates for SO much. Also i didnt think it cost any extra for 9 characters?

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

Whether you have 1 character or the full nine, it is still $495 for polycarbonate, the alloy ones are $385 up to 8 characters. Motorbike is 7. Costs nothing to store the plates. Don't know where $900 comes from.....

[ssv 08 ute]

Thanks for that...poly is now $535..(check link in earlier post),,,ones im after
Price can go up to $1400 !!

[DevilDRake]

you think $1400 is much, there's plates worth $20,000 here, initals are like $5000, it's insane.

But we only pay for it once.
