White letters, black background.
i am looking at getting some personalised number plates but cant decide what colour. i only want either white on black or black on white. I am leaning towards black letters on white just because the bumpers are black now and the black ones might be too much. what do u think would suit the best?
Mark,
Go the old skool route...white on black, they can't be beat. My current Cabby's plates, which were originally issued in blue on white (standard issue) look so much better in white on black...judge for yourself:

does Victoria have Euro style plates? although looks like you have the original plates, I would keep those, I love seeing old cars with original plates

not sure if they are original plates. anyone know what the earlier mk1's number plate letters started with. mine is an 81
i reckon look for some standard issue plates from your era of the car, but do them custom like i did, i got standard issue period plates but the obvious GLS-077 i also took into account what the numberplate began with at that year, in 1977 the most common letter on the standard numberplates started with either I or J.... my G is like 2 years younger but i compensated by having the "GLS"
from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle...ralia#Victoria
In 1977, reflective green-on-white plates were introduced, beginning at AAA-000 and running to FZZ-999. These bore the insert Victoria - Garden state at the bottom of the plate. In the early nineties, it was discovered that the reflective properties of many number plates in the range from AAA to ERZ, and principally the C series
i am pretty sure after some investigating that mine are standard issue when the car was first registered. i dont like the colour of them though. does anyone know if you can have your plates reissued to u in another color if you were to lose them?
ahh yeah i reckon you can have same plates but diff color... give em a call and confirm

Lawny,
Your plates are from 1993/4...I bought a Suby. in Sept. '94 and because it had previously had personalised plates, new, current plates were fitted (and later stolen..but tha's another storey!) FOR-283, so your plates have either been re-issued or the car re-registered at some time in '93/'94...
being an '81, my guess is your car would have been the last of the AAA's or early BBB's, as plate issue was a bits slower in those days !
