Default Number Plates

Hi everyone i was wondering what everyone thinks looks the best.

-Stock Size
-All Slimline
-Stock at the back, Slimline at the front
-Slimline at the back, Stock at the front

I have an EB 2 if that makes any difference.

Thanks Matt.

It depends on how much your willing to pay.

It's either a regular, which ain't bad or a personalised black and white one with your date of birth on it (incase you forget) or some retarded code that takes 10mins to figure out or a jumbled up mess which means nothing.

Or you can pay big bucks for a proper personalised one and you still have the problem of making something understandable for it. Or else its a dogs breakfest with no meaning, except its a drain on your account.

In New South Wales the eurostyle ones are so hot right now, pity they don't fit on the rear of my ED. DAMN!

in vic i believe it is $100 for slimline plates of your original configuration, and an extra $100 for different colours. although i think you can change the colour without going slimline. not 100% sure though

I've just ordered slim for the front & stock for the back. The guy next door has slimlines all round on his EL wagon and it looks horrid.

I had slimlines front and rear when I first had mine on the EL, but didnt know you could get one of each. I ordered a copy at $75 so now I have normal on the back to fill out the surround.

slimline on the front and stock on the back. the garnish needs to be filled out or it looks weird!
also its $100 for pop plates, different colours.
$110 for 1 of each in pop plates
$120 for 2 slimline in pop plates.

by the way this is for vic, not sure what other states are like.

very affordable, i just havent gotten around to getting some yet!

slimline front and back looks best imo, but you have to drill new holes so they're centered vertically

i got standard all round because i have holes for the standard ones at front so it would look crap with the holes there. and at the back slim look crap beacause it has writing under there that the slim ones dont cover. so i just went standard all round.
cheers josh.

I have slim on the front and standard on the back. I would prefer standard all round, but the plates were purchased when i was still doing the rexxy bar. Now i have the MMM kit and would rather have a standard size on the front. Also slimline sucks with gas cars as the LPG emblem doesn't fit that well...

Yeah I didn't think about that when I ordered my slims..LOL

Looks good one the front, but retarded on the rear, I was quoted $35 for a normal one on the back, Ill get around to it.
