The thing I don't get, if I paid 2.5k for full custom plates, and they get revoked at a later date dwould I be entitled to refunds?

In Victoria, if plates have to be returned to Vicroads. You get a refund of the original purchase price of the plates.

If they cost you $400 you get $400 back.

Ha! I understand your frustration, but it might be deemed offensive to a number of VTEC Yo bros who don't get the idea that a supercharged V8 would be faster than variable cams.

You probably didn't realise what you were looking at - a very special car indeed. It is a miami/coyote GT-E modified with a Kenne Bell supercharger, putting out more than 500 rwkw!

There is a thread in the performance builds section, and an article in the current issue of Perth Street Car!

Queensland plates I purchased for my Ford Focus Sport I used FFS and
went through no problems. I wondered why the lady at the main roads office questioned me when doing the transfer of the old plates
asked me the meaning. I said Ford Focus Sport. She said Oh, OK.
A work mate laughed at them one day and asked me how I got them through. What you talking bout I asked. Work it out. Man I was slow.
Maybe you need to ask them for replacement done different. If it matches the car I guess they have no argument. Blown has a few meanings
unfortunately and the person who knocked yours back took it the
wrong way. Can you call into a office maybe instead of emailing. In person may get better result.

Mate had [3JKUL8] on his Yamaha R6 for ages, took a few attempts to get them as well. One day he got a letter saying he had to hand them in as they were offensive.

It's kinda rediculus really, people get offended just because someone else may get offended. PC sucks!

This was photograhed a couple of months ago (in NSW).

Victoria may be a little more lenient than other states

I recall Garry Rogers (owner of GRM in V8Supercars) arguing to keep his plates for what I think was a renault or something. HOON was deemed inappropriate. He has a sense of humour, so what. (Cant recall if he got to keep them)

I know legally you can't transfer standard personalised plates in NSW, but I believe you can sell premium personal plates.

And if the loophole people are using is for the seller to hand in his plates to RTA and the buyer to order the plates 30 seconds later, then maybe make it so they can't be re-ordered for 3 months or something.

Having said that, only thing dumber that trying to sell plates for $10k is buying them for 10k.
Quite legal in Victoria to sell or trade custom plates & why not since you paid to own the rights to them.

No but if the draconian laws and arbiters of taste and appropriateness of our reregistration departments, the topic of this thread deem these plates acceptable then so shoudl AFF. Just reflecting Australias communities standards and all!
