My friend had installed the IND plates on his Optra,and when his car had a minor(3cm) dent on the left side of front bumper ,he wanted to paint it,and while painting,some paint got stuck onto his IND plates.
Then,he applied thinner to remove the paint,and the IND word and the INDIA written over the numbers came off partially.Now,he has ordered another plate for Rs 600.
He got his IND plates for 1.2K before,he accepted the price as his brother has bought similar IND plates for his i20 at Tirunelveli.
