Dear Bros, Looking for accessories shop recommendation, specifically looking for scuff plates (door sill) - just the normal type not with LED, and also aluminium foot pedal cover for Mazda 6. Hope to get some advises.

There were four groups that passed by me, could have been more but decided to catch up and follow one- and a small incident to remember at 110 km/h 9 Sep13

I want to make a number plate with the Euro fonts but without the blue strip. Any workshop to recommend for this? Preferably in Leng Kee area.

Where can I get Euro number plates for my Golf?

Hello all, I've seen quite a few cars on the road sporting some sort of license plate that reflects rainbow colours. Example (taken from stomp): http://static.stomp.com.sg/site/servlet/li...e-thumbnail.jpg Seems illegal right? But according to LTA guidelines at http://www.onemotoring.com.sg/publish/onem...ence_plate.html So technically speaking, it SHOULD be ok since it conforms to regulation. There's nothing in there that says the license plate CANNOT be coated in such material. Anybody using these plates got pulled over by TP/LTA before?

which is singapore car and which is malaysia?

Hi, Anyone knows if USA size car plates..I think they are standard 6 X 12 inches..are allowable in Singapore?

does anyone have good recomendations of shops that do number plates? how much is it?

My uncle paid quite a significant sum of money for the number 6 years ago. However he said nowadays people are getting less interested in the numbers. His friend paid a thousand odd for the number 6666. Does the amount of numbers bother you peeps? If you have a nice number share it with us along with the price you paid for it. :)

Just wondering why there is alot different number plate color in singapore.therefore,just found the general info from internet.Not sure whether your guy have noticed the diff of color number plate and the purpose.? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_regis...es_of_Singapore

WHEN Mr Bobby Lim was assigned his system-generated licence plate for his white Toyota Alphard, he thought it was his lucky day. To him, the plate number 1682 was considered lucky because the first three digits sound like 'prosper all the way' in Mandarin and Cantonese. Ironically, Mr Lim, 44, who runs a limousine service, ended up more than $300 poorer. Someone was caught using a fake plate with his licence number on a stolen car, and he now has to spend that sum to get a new licence number. His case is not unique. Last month, The New Paper reported how a car valet allegedly made fake licence plates for his car because he could not keep up with his car loan payments. As a result, the real owner, whose car was of a similar make and model, received summonses for parking offences he didn't commit. Checks with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) showed that six summonses were issued for illegal car plate duplication last year. There were 11 such summonses in 2008 and four in 2007. In Mr Lim's case, he discovered his car plate number had been duplicated when the police contacted him recently. He was told that it had been spotted on a stolen vehicle. When he arrived at the Jurong Police Division to help with the investigations, he saw that the culprit had put his plate numbers on a car that was of the same model and colour as his. When contacted by The New Paper on Sunday, Deputy Superintendent of Police Stanley Norbert confirmed that a 40-year-old man was charged in court in January for being in possession of a stolen vehicle. Mr Lim decided to change his licence plate number as he's worried that the stolen vehicle had been used for illegal activities. Mr Lim said: "Who knows what the culprit had done using that stolen vehicle?" Typically, when owners want to replace their existing vehicle registration numbers, they may do so by bidding for a new number. The minimum bid is $1,000, and they also have to pay a fee and GST which come up to $321. In Mr Lim's case, LTA made an exception by allocating a new system-generated number to his vehicle. But he still needs to pay $321 to replace his existing number. Proof So how easy is it to get a set of plates without providing proof that the number is registered to you? When The New Paper on Sunday approached 10 different car workshops asking to replace both the front and rear licence plates because of an 'accident', only three asked for documents to prove ownership. The rest said there was no need for any identification documents. "Just drive your car over and we will replace the plates for you," said one workshop mechanic. Most of the garages were able to complete the job within a day. Many were more interested to find out which design we wanted for the new plates - which cost about $50. When we identified ourselves and asked why there was no need to present identification documents when making a duplicate plate, the common answer was that they weren't told to do so. Mr Xu, who runs a car workshop at Tampines, said: "I've never thought of such an issue. Illegal car plate duplication doesn't usually happen in Singapore." Another workshop boss, who gave his name as Mr Tan, said: "We run a legal business. We are just responsible for changing your car parts." But there were some, like Ms Neo Siew Kuan, 40, who runs an automobile workshop in Admiralty Street, who asked for documents. She said: "I had asked for your log card because it sounded suspicious when you said both your front and back licence plates were missing. "I'm more careful because I have heard of cases of illegal car plate duplication." Lawyers said that the law does not require workshops to ask for documentation in making car licence plates. One of them, Mr Tan Cheng Kiong, 46, said: "You can just go to any shop to get it done. You can even bring it home and fix it on the car yourself. "There's no responsibility for the car plate maker to make sure the plate is fixed on the right car. The onus is on the car owner to display the correct number." LTA said those who are charged and found guilty of illegally duplicating car plates can be fined up to $5,000 or jailed up to three months for the first offence. Repeat offenders can be fined up to $10,000 or jailed up to six months.

According to the report in below, looks like the OPC scheme revamp is going to have many changes (eg. No more ugly red plates ) and not just focusing on the saturday issue. http://www.asiaone.com/Motoring/Motorworld...818-161813.html

May 7, 2008 Speeding drivers cheat the law by flipping plates BEIJING - SPEEDING drivers in southern China are getting away with it, thanks to machines which switch the numbers on their licence plates in seconds, state media reported yesterday. The remote-control device with the ability to flip over the numbers in less than three seconds costs around 1,800 yuan (S$350), the Beijing Youth Daily said. Two number plates - one genuine and one fake - are installed back-to-back within a specially designed black frame, and the driver can flip the plates as he wishes. A less advanced apparatus which releases a veil to cover the licence plate costs 800 yuan or more. 'More than 50 per cent of cars caught on camera for speeding and other offences either cover up their plates or use a fake licence plate,' a traffic policeman in the Guangdong city of Yangjiang was quoted by the newspaper as saying. 'Our chances of capturing them are next to nil.' A driver surnamed Zheng told the newspaper: 'The era of covering up the licence plate manually has passed.' 'It's really convenient and economical too,' said a salesman who specialises in such devices in the provincial capital of Guangzhou. 'The devices are selling like crazy.' In April, Xinhua news agency reported that China had confiscated thousands of fake military vehicles and number plates in a move to crack down on citizens masquerading as privileged members of the People's Liberation Army.
