bravo 35 Report post Posted May 21, 2008 Most of the guys with euro plates got them from there. About $80 delivered. They are excellent to deal with and reliable. Unfortunately not legal although that doesn't stop most people. Watch the numbers decline with the introduction of new plate-reading toll cameras on the soon-to-be-opened northern motorway extension.

Oh yes the good old ANPR (active number plate recognition) however i believe that in the UK as long as the spacing is correct they dont bother picking people up on it (i assume if its good enough to read your plate and send you a fine its good enough to use on the road!!) ANPR will soon hit the southern motorway its just a matter of time and funding......... Its not stopping me buying some plates though.....

moktar 7 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 Gonna place my order next week. very easy site to use. I have seen a Black VW with one of the white digits on a black face. Kinda cool but i bet he gets the police attention quickly. Also can get whatever i want on a plate if i order from germanplates.com? ie already taken plates and unacceptable for release plates as there is no check of rego.??

I believe germanplates.co.nz do not provide the kiwi flag stickers etc germanplates.com - I ordered standard German one - blue strip on left side with D and EU stars printed on it. Not sure where you can get NZ stickers. Edited May 22, 2008 by Simke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had my plates on for a year now. Had numerous parking tickets, one speeding ticket (cop pulled me over) and the other day I got photographed by a parking warden for stopping on yellow lines (got a ticket in the mail) and no mention of the plates. Oh, and plates aren't a WOF issue so no need to worry there.  Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
