Vass 809 Report post Posted Monday at 11:52 PM Get yours while you still can fellas. Following email being sent around by Kiwiplates, as well as there now being a disclaimer at checkout. Surprised it lasted this long tbh, the "issue" has been known for a good while. Quote We wanted to let you know about an important change that affects your plate(s). NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) have made the decision that black numberplates with silver text will no longer be available, due to a readability issue. The last day to order a black numberplate with silver text will be 31 October 2024. To ensure that you can have your plate(s) made with silver text, you will need to request manufacture with Licensys (the government plate manufacturer) no later than 30 November 2024. What happens if you don't request manufacture by 30 November 2024? If you do not request manufacture before this date, then you will still be able to have your plate(s) manufactured in the same design, however, instead of silver text the plate(s) will come with white text. We wanted to let you know of this important change and provide you with the opportunity to have your plate(s) made as you have ordered. It is important to note that while no new plates with silver text will be issued, NZTA have no plans to recall existing black plates with silver text; any plates that are already registered on a vehicle will still be legal to use in New Zealand. Black plates with white text will continue to be available for customers to purchase through KiwiPlates. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vass 809 Report post Posted Tuesday at 12:04 AM Just the silver text ones being affected, for the time being anyway. No word on white text version but still good supposedly. No idea how. Look way better with the silver text though. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
