^ OR you could do it the legal way.
Here's the LEGAL process for doing it.
- Find yourself a LVV Certifier. Get the car Certed (This means goodbye screamer pipe, hell, any of the above mean that)
- Go talk to VTNZ Sylvia Park about a vehicle recertification (Re-vin is a misnomer because you retain your current VIN) These guys are good, I took my BC5 through them a number of years ago and passed with an AA grade once I replaced a leaking shock and a leaky indicator
- Once you pass, Pay the $270 (for 6 months) registration fee, this gives you your plates.
Done, go back for a WOF in 6 months.
