Best number plate / plate holder style

**MIRSAD** · 14-01-2010, 11:31 AM

IN WA Yes

On 118TSI I used black Slim line front and back as at this WA Dep. of Transport website

http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/licen...lates/1391.asp

And some other (in WA) have even smaller personalised plates - 3/4 of Slim line

I just realised taht You ar talking about combination large & small and is it legal to put small one at back ... not sure about that.

I'v ordered Vic Euro plates for my new 2010 build GTI. The site below looks to have really good plate holder and cover solutions. They are based inTassie.

It was my idea (in Oct 09) especially carbon steel is new colour for Aus. and people want to see it ... but
I am not allowed to post attachements (pictures) ... some members can do it
... even copy and post pictures from other websites (they can put link to that website) ... I was told I can put them on one of those host websites and post link.

Dubya asked the question, but I have the answer, courtesy of the RTA.

Yes, it is illegal and fines apply

I have a set of slimline plates; can I put the small plate on the rear of my vehicle?

No. The small plate was designed specifically for the front of a vehicle and must be only placed on the front. Fines apply for the incorrect use of number plates.

I was driving (in WA) 118 TSI from Feb to Oct 09 with Slim line plates (small 372mm X 100mm)) purchased from department of transport from this website

http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/licen...lates/1391.asp

I am not sure are they same size like in East but slim line (black or white) small front and back are common and legal here in WA.

but what I can say ... we are to far from you

**Corey_R** · 14-01-2010, 12:33 PM

In NSW the height of the 'rear slim' plates are 95, 107 or 110mm with traditional plates being or 134mm.
The corresponding 'front' plate is either the same size, or 84mm high. The Black Euro front plate discussed above is 84mm. So our slimmest plates are slimmer than WA.

But yeah, whatever the case, there are different regulations for different states, and in NSW our RTA states very clearly, it's illegal, and fines apply

**MIRSAD** · 14-01-2010, 12:40 PM

Agree - diferent states diferen rules.

and as usuall You have more (better) choices.

Mate all I am saying is take some shots of your car, pop them on a host (photobucket.com) and post the links here (or img tag them).
