What's the craic with personalised plates in Oz?
Would I be able to get something like my existing B16 VWC plate?

Is there any way that I can keep my UK reg for even just a year?

You can get any combination of letters and numbers you like, but it costs! My favorite which I used to see around Sydney is "TIH2HO". Cryptic, but when you see it in a mirror behind you...

welcome to the forum! "B16 VWC" is available for $495. Go to https://www.vplates.com.au and go for your life.

Nice one mate!

Just wasted 2 hours of worktime playing with that site!
Custom plates are cheap as chips in OZ.
Yet another reason to love the place!

Hey Mike, how are you going?

7 letters in SA is 240 dollars a year. Plenty of other numbers have no annual fee once you have bought them.

No need to have numbers look like letters, just have BIGVR6 if you want it.

Or maybe SPRNTR, I see loads of plates with no vowels in in Adelaide.

They only bought in letter-number-letter combinations about a year ago in vic. I bought "MK2GTI" number plates, i reckon theres still a few available, espicially combinations for a corrado. Also once you buy them in vic thats all you have to pay, no annual fee.

Hi Mike, welcome and hope you get to Oz soon? I came over in April with my family and we did the application, etc... all by ourselves. If you have any queries pm me and I'll see if I can help?

Mind you, I didn't bring a Corrado over with me and realised too late that there's bu**er all over here so I may go and sob quietly in the corner if you do come over (even if you are planning on Melbourne and I'm in Sydney!!)

The pics you posted are excellent and I can only drool and hope I win the lottery so that I can get a VR6 meself!!

Failing that, let's hope you can boost the number of Corrados in Oz!

Cheers,
Andy

Flights booked. ETA Melbourne 26th November for a 2 week visit and a bit of job hunting.
Any VW enthusiasts wanna meet up and show me the sites?
I can compensate you for your time with alcoholic beverages.
