Blue plate troubles !

Rossi46 · 2011-06-19T04:50:00+00:00

Hi All, I have a couple of questions for you regarding my highly modified, How do you get it blue plated ?? I have just imported my 1968 bettle which has been modifed a lot and I am being told that there are some things on it that will not be able to blue plated, I have listed most of the mods below and marked the ones that are suspect 1. 2110cc engine with twin webers, Modified exhaust 2. Front disc brakes 3. Goodridge brake hoses 4. Coil over suspension front and rear (suspect) 5. Rear camber compensator 6. 2” narrowed front beam to compensate for track after fitting front discs ( suspect) 7. Dropped front spindles ( not possible) 8. Uprated front sway bar 9. Grant steering wheel 10. Empi “8” alloy wheels 11. External oil cooler 12. Remote oil filter 13. Electric fuel pump 14. Rear frame brace ( suspect) 15. Uprated gearbox mountings 16. Shaved door handles (illegal and I have new door skins and handles) 17. Different front seats. I was also told that it may well be better to go for LH10 street rod plate ??? have to say its causing a bit of a nightmare, when I see some of the beat up wrecks that drive on the road on the gold coast :o), I only drove the car for a max of 800 miles in the UK after totally restoritng and it is built with safety in mind as my job is a Race engineer :o) If you have any pointers for my prodicament I would appreciate it if you could let me know Thanks Daz

I do not know how the dropped spindles and the narrowed beam has been blue plated, it all goes well until there is a accident and the insurance company wipes you, the guy that issued the plate then looses his license to issue them.
