Post by: 69DirtyRat on February 13, 2017, 09:33:10 PM
Geezus the plates are ugly!  :omg:

They are the same size as yellow plates but green letters on white! How will I fit them????? Im sure they just did that to save money cause they are just forklift plates! So half of the cars applying for them will be American cars..... good one Government! Really thought that one through!  :banghead: :banghead: :bats: :thumbdown: :cry:

What a shame Andy!  The Government has probably done that to turn people off going on C-Plates  :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:  Good thing you're saving so much money though.  The Vette is going to look so different  :omg:

Dennis, the committee will be getting together to interpret the C-Plates rules and regulations.  The C-Plates are for highly modified vehicles.  I'd say your cars are fine on H-Plates.  :thumb:

Ness  :cool:

Thanks ness from the last meeting I was under the understanding that as my gto has had the roof cut off that I will need a modified vehicle plate with engineers cents and blue slip. It is all to confusing for me the dumbass. The Buick I will put on h plates my question is as this is the first time I have done this what do I need to do as the rego runs out in 4 weeks?

Go get a pink slip then download and fill in all nessesary paperwork and then fax email post or hand deliver to Owen so he can sign it off then off to the RMS with your old number plates and pay your $90 odd dollars. Make sure you ask them for the 60 day permit too. Just an extra form the RMS will print and fill out.

I think u guys have the best rego in the country! A personalised plate in Nsw costs around $500 a year!!!!! Then rego and greenslip for a normal car adds up to about $1100!!!! So if u want a nice plate plus rego $1600 a freakin year!!!!
Such a joke here!
In California, it's a one off $55 for any personalised plate (and there are heaps of types)  :banghead: :cry:

Hey Skipman, I'm still not sure if u would have to get an engineers cert.? The fact that it has been rego'd before says no but because it's a new Nsw rego you may?? Ring Chris SMS, see what he says?
I have an engineers report from a while ago.

The word from the club plate forum in January, is that any application for the CVS must be accompanied by a 'blue slip', regardless if the vehicle is, or has been, on full or conditional rego.

RMS said that is not negotiable when agreeing to the scheme.

The vehicle owner is totally responsible for completing the application, and providing the correct documentation to the inspector for the 'blue slip', and then to forward all documentation to the CMC with payment for final approval.

The club also has an obligation to ensure that the owner completes the correct form/s.

If the correct procedure is not complied with, and the vehicle is in an accident, the ramifications could be severe to the point where insurance payout could be refused, as the vehicle could be determined as unregistered.

Just a few thoughts to be aware of.
