german plates

Recommended Posts

Hey all, now I know this topic has been done a few times, but my searches have proven unsuccessful.

What i'm wanting to know is how do you get the NZ stickers etc for these plates to make them appear somewhat legal. I asked the guy at german plates and he said they don't do them. Now i'm a little puzzled? Can anyone fill me in as to how you go about it?

Ian.

They used to until LTSA got on their back. Now theres no other way to get the New Zealand style German plates.

I think if you email the guy at german plates he said he could make the plates and send you the black/blue stickers for you to attach yourself

Low cost method:

White plastic sheet

Scissors

Paint

Cut out the shape you want

Paint it with whatever symbols you want

Put in on the car behind the legally required NZ plate

This is along similay lines to the car I saw in Auckland once that had side skirts made of cardboard taped to the car...

Just get the plates with the Deutschland logo on them... I've had them on my car for over a year and no problems whatsoever.

EDIT: Had one speeding ticket and numerous parking tickets in that time as well... no one's mentioned anything about the plates.

Hey Guys,

Seen similar threads and not paid too much attention so could very well be going over old ground, but has anyone taken the time to look up the law books on this and see if it is in fact law or just police and ltsa bs.

Be interesting to know.......................
