Given how flimsy new HSRP plates are, I would keep the old plates around if they are of good quality / in good condition for emergency use.

I wouldn't blame owners. Vehicle owners in my own circle are aware of this rule, but are completely choosing to ignore it. If HSRP tech provided great benefits, then market forces would have made it a success.

A new regulation / law should not be enforced retroactively (doing this has become a habit for governments and authorities). Govt. could have said, changing to HSRP plates is preferred, but mandatory during ownership change, NOC for change of jurisdiction or during FC etc.

Given the flimsy structure of the new plates and the low quality of embossed letters & numbers, I am waiting for the day when an enthusiastic fellow member thinks of OR an enterprising detailing shop owner comes up with the idea of PPFing the HSRPs.

That will be my I told you so moment .

HSRP updates from my side.

For Harley, dealer appointment option is not possible. I have chosen the home delivery option. However this option is available for some selected pin codes. In my case, I couldn't get it delivered to my home but to my workplace. Now I have to find an installer when it arrives.

For my Tucson, I could order just the colour sticker. On the delivery date I promptly got a message from the dealer. However on visiting, the dealer did not have the colour sticker. The dealer was not sure if one could just order colour sticker. Couple of phone calls and messages to bookmyhsrp, I was promised it will be delivered in two days. The delivery was prompt however there was no colour sticker, just the plain sticker with vehicle details. So my saga continues.

Just spray a 200 rupee clear lacquer over the plate and it will work better than a ppf which will be impossible to apply in the small crevices of the font.

Got HSRP plates for my 2011 TVS Wego at Synergy TVS Banashankari ORR. Appointment was on 30th September 2023 at 11 am and i was at 10:00 am. Requested the staff if they can fix the plates.

They were prompt in accommodating my request.

Was asked to show the appointment letter which i received from Shimnit, parked the scooter and the mechanic came with the tools to remove the existing plates.

The print on one of the plates was smudged and for my surprise the front and back plates were of the same size for my scooter.

Checked with other scooters around and there was no uniformity. Few scooters had small rectangle shaped front number plates and few had same for front and rear. Without any option asked the mechanic of affix the plates.

The mechanic did not even have a drill bit to drill holes which came as a shocker. He took a small bit, placed the plates on wooden plank and started making hole manually. The edges got damaged in the process.

They did not even have a rivet to fix the plates. When asked the staff mentioned that they are fixing only with the screws!

I fail to understand why all these drama of HSRP for the vehicles when they arent fixed as per the standard?

I am not going to install HSRP for my Esteem. I am happy with the erstwhile IND plates for now.

at kalyani motors, Brookfields. Process was smooth and simple.

Book My HSRP is the authorized vendor for Chevrolet cars in Karnataka. As of now they have added KHT Peenya for fitment in Bangalore, a few fitment centers in other cities, and offer home delivery in selected places.

Got my plates affixed at Advaith Hyundai (ORR next to Passport office) today. Booking done via bookmyhsrp 10 days back. Those folks were sitting idle. Don't know why bookmyhsrp is not opening more slots.

[condor]

Got the first set of plates today. Rosmerta via bookmyhsrp. Average thickness - not as good as the ones I have from Speedex.

Regarding disposal of old plates - many car owners are just leaving their old plates with the dealership.

[ajmat]

Got my plates fitted at the Audi Dealer. Was a smooth process, however there was no windscreen sticker supplied nor were pictures of proof of fitment taken. Dealer claimed that the details were already uploaded to the RTO DB. I will need to DIY on the website

Got the HSRP Number plates fixed on my Honda BR-V. Booked the plates through siam.in in Mid September and were delivered in 2 days to Magnum Honda, but got the appointment for 3rd October.

Went in yesterday evening and was promptly guided to an area where HSRP plates are fixed. The back plates were riveted in. But the front plates were fixed with the same old screws and no rivets were used. Windshield sticker was stuck and that's it. I picked up the old plates and left.

Few Observation -

1. People have left their old plates, which is no advisable
2. The HSRP plates are thinner then the previous IND Plates. So expecting vibration pretty soon.
3. The print on the HSRP plates are not as clean and sharp as the IND plates.
4. No photo of fixing the plates were taken.
5. The guy who fixed has no clue of online update and I am pretty sure it was not updated by the dealer, as the number plates packet was opened in front of me.

Honda City - No SMS - No updates. Called Service Center and the lady said the concerned person is on leave.

Did either you place the order for the plates on https://www.orderyourhsrp.com? This is where SIAM is directing me for my Honda City.

Also, @chandrda has already highlighted the relatively poor quality of the plates. Is your experience the same @vsrivatsa.

Looks like SIAM has tie-ups with different manufacturers for different brands. I could be wrong though.

On another note - was at Amba Bajaj for my second set of plates. Old plates left behind by customers were actually cut into two and piled up. Fair first step in the disposal process (though some may say that they should have cut the old plate into 3 or 4 pieces).

On the plates thing, just follow wherever SIAM leads you to.
I have a feeling they've different websites for two/four wheelers and maybe even manufacturers or RTO.
The process followed may not be the same for all but as long as you get the HSRP installed, that's what matters.

Issues seem to be happening when a manufacturer isn't found or if there's a mismatch of names in the RC and the website.

I have another interesting quirk to share here regarding Maruti and Nexa HSRP installation, especially if the same dealership owns both a Maruti and Nexa dealership.

The only dealer who was installing the HSRP in Mysore for Maruti Suzuki was Mandovi Motors, Mysore. Hence I booked an appointment with them for my Baleno for 18th of September.

On 14th of September I received an SMS stating that the HSRP was delivered to the dealership, but when I called up the dealership, they said they haven't received it yet. I waited for almost a week, but the plates did not come.

After calling their Nexa showroom I figured out that like the HSRP plates of all Nexa models were getting delivered to their other Nexa showroom instead. So please ask/confirm if they have sister dealerships where plates may have gotten delivered instead.
