@ivtec3 is 100% Right
Being as experienced Karachites,
In KHI, Originality of Number plate is a serious matter.
Yes it happens that during re-coloring or repairing original Number plates, Logo of Sindh Government gets disposed off obviously
Non-visibility or non-clearance Logo of Sindh Government has of-course impact but not so much impact. Maximum it will decrease amount from 5K - 10 K
But yes if it is repaired or bent or dented(even after new color), then of course every one in KHI will tell you to re-issue Duplicate Number plates from Civic centre in which they will embosed word "DUPLICATE" on plates
@aqibasit
Even if Original is repainted, Originality has gone so one has to suffer Little price Loss
@ghayyour1 is 100% Right too
Of course, Repainting or Repairing of number plates is just like repainting/repairing of your Bumper or Fender. It clearly means that car has been hit /crashed/ poorly maintained (Car has not been saved from Direct sun light/ water etc. )
@badatif
It is bitter truth but it is the case. My Neighbour had 1986 Corolla but believe me Number plate was Original without a single scratch or dent
Dear that's why always keep your plates neat & Clean.
If it has been discolored due to sunlight, this will simply tell Buyer that owner has not kept car in well condition, He has not saved it from Direct Sun Light, Dirt & Water so same discolour will happen to dashboard, door rubbers etc.
Always cover your car if u dont have Covered car Parking,
In KHI, environment is so polluted that if u have parked car in open place, in 2-3 days, it will fill up with lot of Dirt paticles, small scratches etc.
@alioncar
Yes you can still get your car plates from Civic Centre, Karachi but original File & CNIC will be required in Karachi
