Need advice: Breaking OPC plate seal

[Megadark]

I think it depends whether if space allows the new plate or not. Originally wanted to do single row for front and back. In the end, had to do 2 rows in front because the metal bar originally attaching the plate in front is too troublesome to remove. As for the rear, had to maintain the plate at the original trapezium shape and the numbers in one row due to the unconventional indentation there.

Thats great !!!!!

 

How many days it took from the first payment cum paper work until the plate changing ? U paid in cash or via cheque?

[Megadark]

Plate can be changed on the day the car was converted. I think LTA will give 3 days grace to change the plate. The first payment is also the last payment and I paid via cheque.

Oh ic...they dont have to wait for the cheque to clear ? Submit paper work + cheque payment = change plate. All these can be done within the same day ?

 

Can pay in cash instead of cheque ?

Nope.

 

Submit paper work + cheque payment = change plate. All these can be done within the same day ?

Yup. But many car plate shops need several hours to make the plate, so you may want to order before hand.

 

Can pay in cash instead of cheque ?

Sorry bro, dunno about that. You have to call LTA and ask about it.

hi bro,

 

You are lucky that your car was not damage when they cut the seal. To share with u guys my horrible experience:

 

I was attempting to change my OPC to normal early this yr, but the car plate shop do not have the service to remove my seal. Then i search high and low, finally found a workshop in Sin Ming, they charge me $10 (actually was introduce by another workshop beside). When they attemp to cut my rear no plate, the stupid guy accidentally cut my rear boot result in a 7cm X 0.5cm scarr near my rear no. plate area. When I noticed this, i ask the guy nicely, below is the conversation:

 

Me: Uncle, u scratch my car lei

Workshop guy: Ya lah, accident mah

 

Me: Can touch up or not

Workshop guy: Can, $80 loh

 

Me: What? but is your fault what?

Workshop guy: I know is my fault, I said sorry already wat.

 

Me: How can like that, you cause the damage, then you still wantme to pay for your damage ?

workshop guy: OK loh, then u sue me loh, make police report loh...!!!

Then he walk away.

 

Win liao loh, I think even i make a police report, the police is not able to take any action. Just admit i am so bad luck loh.... Then I live with this scarr in my car.

Care to share with us the name of the shop?

 

We know for such irresponsible behaviour report police also no use...but you put the name here at MCF, I link the name to the 3 forum in my signature guarantee his business will close sooner or later...

Theman, I agree with Pocus. At the very least, share with us so that the same fate will not befall the rest here. Anyway, Pocus will spread the news for you.
