Ideas for Personalised Plates

Samsara · 14-06-2012, 03:16 PM

Hey all,

I did a thread search, and there was really only one other thread for ideas for personalised plates, so i figured I would open one up for myself, and anyone else that would need help choosing plates!

So I've been trying to think hard on my plates, and any ideas I had are taken.
I've tried:
584IRD (SBAIRD)
SAM90
SAM42
SAM43
45TINA (ASTINA)
5H1F7Y (SHIFTY) (I've also tried other derivatives of shifty, to no avail)
B0N3R as well, but that was never a serious suggestion lol

Would anybody have any good ideas??

On another note, I'm considering buying these for the frame of the plates http://tinyurl.com/c69jfhw

How much are you willing to pay as many of the ones you have selected are going to cost a lot more as they are the prestige plates and will cost around $2395!!
IMO its too much.

Waste of money mate. Chuck some stickers on the back for $20 lol.

you guys get it cheap compared to us down in nsw!
we pay $200-$500 to get them payed then an annual fee between $100-$500...

my advice, get something thats going to go with everycar so you dont have to get them remade everytime

There's a few 323 options still available if you wanted that. Sam323 available?

marcs_sp20 · 14-06-2012, 08:55 PM

IMO, get something that you can take from car to car, but in Mats case, from 323 to 323

Also some of those plates wont be available as they are normal issue plates, being numbers followed by letters. Best I have seen on a Mazda 323 was 323AST!

SAM323 isnt available, but going off the plates SAM42 & SAM43, there is available SAM442 & 443?

Actually here are a couple screenshots of whats available from the SAM 3x3 range:

Clean_Cookie · 14-06-2012, 09:22 PM

Ezy323, qik323, Jdm323, low323 slo323 etc. Were all available last month. No more lantis though hehe

rodhog · 14-06-2012, 09:36 PM

Dam even at $3K - I'd pay that one off. For my plates.

2 years at $350 and 5 years at $400 ? hmm. Oh well.

Pick what fits budget and what you want really IMO.

For the price who cares really if you get another car - get another plate.

$400 odd one off is great IMO. I'd change paltes every year if I could.

Dont. Use the money to buy something worth while that makes a difference to the car

I suppose if it comes the time to sell the Astina, I can put it up with the plates and get a bit of extra dosh with it haha

I have had personalised plates on my car for 7 years and it makes no difference.
All it lets people know is how old I am as its my initials and year of birth.
Im not complaining as they were given to me buy an ex for xmas.

Samsara · 15-06-2012, 01:43 AM

yeah i understand that.. but it I reckon it will add a bit of "Me" to the car... even though the car is owned by me and modded by me... sigh

Clean_Cookie · 15-06-2012, 11:57 AM

Personally, anything but the stock plates adds class (except maybe EN15 with a p plate stuck in front haha. Saw that on ebay.) and makes the car go from looking modified but plain to wow!. Like tonys astina for example, his plates made the front look loads better, stylish rather than the green one.... I hate the maroon ones too haha.

I had no issues with my age being displayed on my car a few years ago but now that im an old bastard it makes me look older!

maztech · 15-06-2012, 05:46 PM

I took mine off and haven't put em on the ute yet cause I am an old bastard now ---- LOL same age as you you old bastard Phil

rogerstrampoline · 15-06-2012, 08:49 PM

Not Sure about Class is the right word for that. maybe adds something to Differ from the rest. But not class
A Camira with plates of Bimbo or Fugly is still going ot add no class to a Camira. A Westy getting out of a clean 318I BMW will have more class just on the badge over a Camira.

But your local Maroon and Green plates are shocking. I think it's the numbers then letters thing. the Standard old green Vic Garden state plates look better.
Your Topical QLD ones rock IMO.

I know for us blokes B-Day or age no big deal.
But my neighbour well she can have the enlarged lips and bits of facelift but I know her plates are her Initials and year of B=date. and 1957 was a long time ago now.
