i had the same dramas when i tried to transfer my old plates from my beetle to my bus. did the same thing as you, put the good one on top, but she saw the bad one and told me she had to order new ones. she placed an order (i didn't argue) an that was that.

the next day i rang the RTA and said, " i ordered some plates yesterday, would it be okay if i cancelled those and ordered different ones online later tonight?" the helpful chap said, "no worries, i'm cancelling them right now for you."

and that was it kept the old plates with no intention to change them till i find some older ones!

Right, your in big trouble coupons - I'm the helpful chap from the RTA. I've just cancelled your plates and ordered you some nice new shiny ones.
