Licence plates for my FG rejected LOL

kice · 12-06-2008, 08:32 PM

"100th post yay"

They regret to inform me that my application was unsuccessful but they took me $335 anyway.

"Departmental Plates policy currently stipulates that character combinations closley resembling the make or model of a vehicle cannot to be released"

Dam. I was more worried about getting rejected for having "sex" in it rather than xr6.

SEXR6 is what I applied for.

I woner if SEXR6T would get accepted >.<

Quite contrivoursal as I have seen lots of cars driving around with "SSV" or othershit relating to vehicle around.

Nikked · 12-06-2008, 08:59 PM

XR8 Uterous · 12-06-2008, 09:16 PM

what state?

kice · 12-06-2008, 09:34 PM

Western Australia

Not only are we the most taxed state, now this too :P

PHANTMXR6 · 12-06-2008, 09:58 PM

Sounds dodgy to me.
When I bought my Phantom BA XR6 i bought PHANTMXR6 Plates and they were ok.

Maybe you should try puting a space between a couple of the letters and give it another go.

kice · 12-06-2008, 10:00 PM

Are your plates in WA ?

I think that maybe why.

DJL351 · 12-06-2008, 10:09 PM

This one came in to effect at the beginning of the year.

I tried to order FG FPV and a couple of others.... all were knocked back.

Yep.

Slimline Poly in purple. Matched the paint really well.

Windsor220 · 12-06-2008, 10:26 PM

Theyve probably done it to stop the people who buy out the good ones straight away and try and sell them for bulk. Just have a look in the Quokka to see what crazy prices people are asking.

Still dont know why they would knock back SEXR6. Maybe someone on the inside wanted that plate for themselves.

Steppo · 12-06-2008, 10:29 PM

try xrsex. but i think they have already been taken.

seducyT · 12-06-2008, 10:31 PM

Guys, I know in Vic, Vic roads woke up to this a while ago. They now block sale of all the model type of plates. They then auction them a couple of time a year because they can make heaps more money than the standard fee. Just another way to keep taking extra money off people with some flair.....no wonder they all drive Toyotas

asusdragon · 12-06-2008, 10:48 PM

yeh came in start of the yar ha mate trying to get VE R8 or somthing similar and got knocked back due to them being for a particular model car, rather stupid i think though guess the government has seen it and decided they wanna make more money then the std fee on these type of plates

HLC · 12-06-2008, 11:00 PM

ive seen "sexr6t" and "smut" in NSW both on XR6T's funnily enough

:

Zed7fiddy · 12-06-2008, 11:02 PM

What a joke! They shouldnt be able to block plates unless they are derogitory!

I can understand if the carmakers made a complaint RE: Copyright laws but apart from that its utter BS!

kice · 13-06-2008, 03:37 AM

Elias · 13-06-2008, 08:30 AM

I have FGXR6 in Vic, i also know that FGXR6T was also taken (as I missed it by a couple of minutes).

Fev · 13-06-2008, 08:43 AM

ive seen quite a few holdens with plates like that, and a few beemers. neighbours had a VY clubsport R8. plates were VY R8. another had a maloo, plates were HMA-L00. aswell as BMW2C(now on a new M3)

theres a very tastey VE SSV around the hills area. its silver with HSV GTS rims and brake package and a full exhaust+more. the thing just looks so good - plate is SSV

Funny because they checked the database and showed as available. So I put the purchase threw, but got knocked back for the XR6 containing reason.

Does your friend wanna sell them to me :P

weird, i drove past a car with that exact plate on the freeway last night!

EDIT: so they let you pay the application fee for the plates, then knock you back AND keep your money? WTF?

schnoods · 13-06-2008, 01:04 PM

its to basically stop people from buying new car plates and then putting em up for sale in the quokka for 5 grand, they are obviously sick of people buying HSV GTS or 05 BA GTP...

Gotta nickname mate??? either that or come up with something catchy...

Fev · 13-06-2008, 02:37 PM

bugcatcha. put a nice big scoop and throw that on the plates :P
