"Accessory plates can be ordered at any Queensland Transport Customer Service Centre, or by calling PPQ on 136 356 (a modest fee applies)."
Their idea of modest is $54.95

Got some white paint, a bit of tin & a black texta ?
As long as it looks neat, I don't think you'd get hassled ? Also would need to run a light to illuminate the plate at night ?
Other option is a full sized plate. They'd be cheaper than custom ones.
Cheers

You sure would get hassled. Fined even. If they let you make your own plates, you could make ANY plates and put them on your car - which is definitely not allowed!
You'll keep them at least 5 years right? 10 bucks a year? It's nothing.

I'd arc up about $54.90 for 2 small stamped bits of metal too. They are only good for the car, not for the life of the bike or bike rack.

If you get hassled, I say a jolly good job to the coppers in your area. That's dedication for you. Not their fault someone decides to flout the law.

Hmmm, I guess that is what is called progress in society. Displaying a not quite the standard number plate is a REALLY SERIOUS offence, especially when compared to murder, theft, dangerous driving etc.
Since some people think that $55 is quite modest, maybe they can "donate" the plates to Tuco as a supporter of his racing program.....

If you have personalised plates, the cost is only $20.45, but if you don't it costs $54.95.
The extra $34 is for PPQ to process and essentially get the authority to create a copy of a Qld Transport plate. I paid the $34 when I bought my personalised plates, so I don't need to pay it again. It's almost like PPQ need to personalise your standard rego before they can make a plate.
Hope this makes sense.
