Yeah - if it was mine I would have got a slimline for the front , I just had replica perspex ones made for the ute so they were the same height as the front bumper
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

So I had a look on the Dept of Transport website and it appears if I want them reissued in say the slim line then I have to pay the full fee as if applying for them originally, mind you I bought these plates second hand from a guy on gumtree so didn't have the option of style from the beginning.

So they will be find as they are not paying $600 or whatever it was originally :roll: :roll:

Jeepers - wa gov doing well there - worth a phone call I reckon - say they are damaged and need replacing and you need slimline to avoid further damage

That's not a bad idea Wal I think I will give them a call just to clarify the statement on their web.

I paid #600 for them from the guy on Gumtree so don't see the sense in doubling it :lol:
