OK I just rang Vic Roads to find out about custom number plates馃檪
Bel is not on her original plates and has the newer blue and white ones, so I'd like to go back to black and white older style
BEL 58 is available for $415
If I add either a letter or number the price comes down to $310
I could go
BEL 158 (FOR TYPE1)
or I could do
VWT 158
This is the style/ old looking
I guess 3 letters and 3 numbers makes it look like a real number!!! What do you think??馃檪
There is always JENZ58 but who would want them is I did ever sell her??馃檨
Unity-28 路
How about VWI-958
That way you have VW I (type 1 and the number 1 for the begining of the year!
N!
jenz58 路
Hey N
I just rang motor reg
VWI 958
TYP 158
VWT 158
Are all due for future, general, release and I can get them now if I was happy to have them in the current standard colour and style馃檨 Damn!!!!!!
VW 1958 has been taken
VLKS 58 is available
The guy was really helpful and tried to find Bel's original number for me but with no luck. She's had an engine change before I got her and then I changed her engine back to a 36 hp, but still not her original
I can see why it is such a plus if you can get all of the original paper work with the car when you buy it:thumb
HotRodMatt 路
VLK 558
Still looks like VLKS58 but cheaper
57kombi 路
how about
VUU 58
As in V double u 58

BUG 058??
sooty 路
I wanted to get KOM-81 unfortunately already taken 馃檨
jenz58 路
or BUG 158
I'm guessing that BEL 158 or BUG 158 have been issued some time ago as standard numbers. It's a matter of if they are available for me to buy
I'd like to go the black and white plates so ones like VLK 558 , cos it would come under the still to be issued category and have to be on standard type plates
Kara_11 路
I rather like the whole VLK *insert numbers here*...... rather clever...... original papers would be cool....
I was impressed with my numbers when I got it. (I'm a big Harry Potter fan - the books not the movie!!!!) and my plates end with *note this is not personalized* HJP - Harry James Potter.....ok, well I was the only one who noticed but hey........
*laughs*
I like BUG 158.....but whatever you like......
Mr Bubble Head 路
I like the look of VWT 158 looks std but at second glance any veedubber would know
I've just changed the plates over on my bus this week to AVWBUS I've had them for a while but was lazy, cost me $315 at the motor show dont worry AVWBUG was gone would of been great to have the pair next to each other!

JENZ58 sounds cool to me Jen.
What about GR8058
jenz58 路
Dean what can I say!!!! 馃檪:kiss
I'd love JENZ58!!!!!!!!
But who else would?
but then again it would be there and is there for me:bounce :bounce
"OK, be positive Jen, you are not going to sell Bel!!!!! Ever!!!!!!":sandrine
*jenz looks around* Who said that????馃榾
oval TOFU 路
Jen, its only about $70 more for the less charactered plates... I'd say go for the dearer one! It looks heaps better too! Don't about selling her! Get in that dam sunroof and plan to keep her as long as you live!
on the other hand:
FIFTY8
and for anyone who is interested, I've seen a BMW X5 with the orig enamel plate 7 around Prahran and if that wasn't enough, later that day i saw a Benz S class (a phat one at that) with 3...that plate is worth more than W8 Passat i think!
BLING BLING
jenz58 路
Nah, I want to keep her for sure:kiss
$70 isn't much in the long run. I just wanted feedback on it
But isn't it strange that the price drops $105 when you ADD a letter or number. Go figure????
BEL 58 $415
JENZ58 $310

I'm in NSW, I have VWH-00N 馃榾
Just thought I would share this !!
My Pajero has XPL-00R, with the 00 being Zero's !
Sorry, back to Vic now馃榾
byronbus 路
My NSW '75 singlecab has VWY-OOT
I like VUU-058
My grandmother (Godbless her) gave me for my 21st BRU-51E...hmmm they are in storage, didnt want to get rid of them before she dies...
I have original plates on the oval, would prefer personalised but cant bring myslef to change them...
jenz58 路
OK so if you wanted VUU 058 would you be happy with the standard plates (here, blue and white, with 'Victoria - the place to be' on them???)
That's my choice with these type of numbers cos they are gunna be issued stock/numbers馃檨
Can we guess you're name is
I want the black and white with just 'Victoria' underneath the number :sandrine
What a cute grandmother you have!!!! So can we assume your name is Br...?馃檪
Don't you love decyphering number plates????:bounce:bounce:bounce
11CAB 路
Jenz58 is definately the pic of the bunch :thumb
byronbus 路
I would be happy with the standard, they are cheaper and they look cool to have a groovy combination...in standard colours :thumb
jenz58 路
Found myself checking out all the types of plates when I was on the road this arvo....
Decisions???
Well at least if I had JENZ58 maybe some people VW people might twig and give me the wave, or not馃槈
byronbus 路
VUU-058 is better than JENZ58 unless you want to take the plates with you when you sell the car...same with BEL anything...
And you get the excitment of new number plates with each new car
jenz58 路
That's the prob with JENZ58 if I sell her then I possibly won't be getting another 58????
ande then do they become another thing that gets put in the back of a cupboard until you have a big cleanout 馃檨
byronbus 路
Exactly, so go with the car options and sell the car with the plates... and maybe (probably not) in 20 years someone will pay $5k for VUU-058 for their restored 58 beetle or kombi...
VWY-00T forsale $2000, imagine that?
amazer 路
I'll add my vote to JENZ58.
The nsw rta website has a page where you can play around with number plates, different styles and check if they're available. They dont have something like that at vicroads?
jenz58 路
Hey Amazer馃檪
No they don't have anything like that:jesus
I asked when I rang, but I did think I'd seen one a while back when I was playing around with ideas ?????
I'm going to go sleep on it all now馃檪
Night:sandrine
byronbus 路
Sweet dreams, all you will think about now is combinations...not like counting sheep

i have always wanted
HER831
...but thats just cause i am a herbie fan!
beep beep!
DoNkEy 路
i mean
HER813 馃榾
jenz58 路
I bet that one has been taken, but with three letters and 3 numbers it could have been issued to any old car, not a Herbie馃檨
byronbus 路
What did we decide Jen?
jenz58 路
Damn, I've been thinking of other things today:jesus
Once they send the plates to you does that mean you have to have them on I'm guessing????
Don't want them mangled, so will start looking for brackets. Bel just has her plates screwed to the lid and on front bumper
Black_math 路
You could get this, itd be realy coool馃槑
amazer 路
heres the link if you want to play around on the nsw thing. just to get an idea what they would look like.
this one would cost you $50 + $470 each year if you happened to live in NSW-the taxed thru the ass state
VOLKS58 looks OK too but it is only copying part of the plate for me (one letter at a time馃檨)
Black_math 路
Go with mine:P Go GO GO GO:P馃槑
byronbus 路
Im thinking of changing the original plates on the oval for the european stlye plates...is this a bad move considering i have the original from almost 50 years?
jenz58 路
Guess ya gotta do what feels right for you馃檪
Bel's don't mean anything to me right now other than they are rego plates and I need them. Beyond that, .......
Jay_1965vw 路
Wolf's getting his original plates when I can afford it . Black and white, JGA 253.
jenz58 路
That's cool Jay!!!馃檪
Wish I could find out what Bel's were
65busser 路
Got to be JENZ58.
Don't be concerned by the future, it's now you gotta have fun. I got my plates yesterday Jen. It's your turn.

Yeah I cheated. did printscreen and mucked around with paintbrush. The things we do to avoid what we should be doing.

Hey Brad
You're right!!!!!馃檪 :thumb
So are you going to tell us about your plates?? What did you get???!!!!!:bounce:bounce

Can't they find out from the chassis number Jen? Know you said engine number has changed, but surely chassis can't have...

Some plates are just plain horrible:puke
Just I'm hoping not to appear a wanker (can girls do that???) What is the female term???? Are we wankers too???:o
Well trying not be be either馃榾:sandrine
oval TOFU 路
65busser: love da plate! If only i could have parenthesis on number plates for beetles!
Jen: I wont dive into how chicks can be wankers, but i'm sure anyone can if they try hard enough! I dont think anyone can be considered a wanker by having personalised plates... a dickhead maybe... but i dont think wanker is the correct term in this instance. I know of a dickhead.... he thinks he's black... hbut he ain't.. but thats just my little grudge [ahem]
JENZ58 would be cool.... otherwise just get JENZ coz four letters look cooler..... remember less is more... just like that Z plate..... :puke!
So when are you getting it?
PS: anyone rich enough to buy a new M5 or M6 in the future? I've got VTENBM for sale....keep it in mind
