ADD THE ULTIMATE JDM ACCESSORY TO YOUR STREETER WITH A JAPANESESTYLE PERSONALISED PLATE FROM KIWIPLATES.CO.NZ — IT’S COMPLETELY LEGAL TO USE ON NEW ZEALAND ROADS!

New Zealand has forged itself a unique image when it comes to car styling. With a mix of international influences and local creations, it’s fair to say we’ve got some of the best examples in the world. But if there’s one place we look to for inspiration more than any other, it’s the motherland of many of the cars we hold dear — Japan. Whether it’s simple styling touches like slammed ride heights on big, wide wheels, or the historical influences from legendary motorsport achievements, much has been taken from Japanese styling and integrated into our own aesthetic.

With a treasure trove of parts to unearth to help us achieve these visions we see online, there’s a strong desire to have your car looking like an authentic Japanese vehicle, which leads to the search for genuine Japanese plates in order to create the illusion of the car being in Japan itself, without ever leaving our shores. The only problem is that to get your hands on these requires the illegal exportation of Japanese government property and once here, the inability for it to be used on New Zealand roads legally. Sure they look cool, but they are ultimately limited in their use.

However, thanks to our local personalised plate company, KiwiPlates, that doesn’t have to be the case anymore. After repeated calls from vehicle owners to produce a Japanese option, the company has just dropped its latest design that brings you authentic Japanese plate styling with all the personalised plate customization you’re used to. The best part of all? They’re 100% legal.
