handgrenade 189 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 Yep they are. Just be careful of the cops. Some are on a specific mission to get them off the road. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m325i 705 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 ^ perhaps, but you need to try hard to find them. In fact I think these cops are gay because they seem to only seek out "dicks". I know what you are saying, but this isn't true. I know 2 65+ year olds who have been pinged. (Same area, same officer?). Big fine. They were on plates with font very close to the real ones, not way different like your one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2378 Report post Posted January 19, 2015 Ive heard a few officers in Auckland are trained to know the visual difference and will target plates that arent legit. Its nothing to do with them being "dicks", its their job. The risk of having your plates taken and the fine associated with it is just one of the things you live with when youre using illegal plates.

handgrenade 189 Report post Posted January 20, 2015 What's the fine for the plate thing? Thought it was 200 but I only got stung for 100 .. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3568 Report post Posted January 20, 2015 dave is just lucky i thought it was 200 too but i guess its at the officers discretion. just pay $400 or something to nzplates and get the proper legal upgrade done if you want. otherwise live with what you have. alternatively, look for some europlates for sale on trademe. sometimes they're only like $300-500 and it might even be a good combination Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2378 Report post Posted January 20, 2015 $400 to get them to stamp a bit of metal with a plate number you already have? Yeah f**k that monopoly. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3568 Report post Posted January 20, 2015 but that vs pay $100 for germanplates + possibility of fine of $$200 = $300. yea fk that monopoly but if its what you want, might as well do it legitimately. or this http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/personalised-plates/auction-835706775.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darren_mk 52 Report post Posted January 20, 2015 Thanks for the replies lads, Im from the UK, so i just cant get my head around the fact you have to pay silly silly money for a piece of metal.... I have a set of the holders above, but they dont look that good, and they are infact shorter than the euro size and leave the screw holes on front numberplate holder exposed!!!.... Maybe im too fussy...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
