NSW Number Plates
metalhead:
A bit cheaper but similar. $195 order fee and $99 a year for personalised content. I think, but am not sure, that you can replace your existing plate for the $195 with no ongoing fees though? For me, I figure the ongoing $99 a year is less than $2 a week. I can live with that, even though it annoys me, a full tank of 98 costs more...
metalhead:
Just checked on myplates. One off order fee of $195, no ongoing fees for replacing your existing plate (not choosing new numbers/letters) with an 'International size' plate. Likewise you can order 'US size' number plates (which are the same size, different prints, personally I prefer the plainer 'International size') for a one off fee of $295 with no annual fee if you don't choose the numbers/letters.

I just went through this recently with my C5. First you need to register your car with RMS and get the black on white plates (they call slim white bordered) Then you apply for the US 12x6 size through Myplates.
The cheapest option is to and accept what you get over the counter from the RMS and then apply for the US 12x6" plates of your choice without changing the plate number. One off fee of $195 for the plainer ones.

No I'm pedantic, I believe we have to go thru the hoops to get these registered to NSW law and we have to carry plates, therefore if the car complies to all their rules, then they (MTA) at least must comply as well. They supply a black on yellow plate and others that on a C4 covers the reversing lights. This must contravene at least work cover and other safety laws. But you at least seem to have achieved a good compromise with a plate that looks smart at a reasonable cost....
Vettech:
You can probably tell I've nothing better to do.... But from memory I can't remember where it actually says in the rules that vehicles require reversing lights. And that's probably the loop-hole that allows for cash inflow..
