Creaver 55 Report post Posted May 15, 2008 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jochen 4 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 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...

Mark 178 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) 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.
