You aren't supposed to be a LIR unless you're serious about reselling RIPE services. You're supposed to get services through some other LIR instead, similar to the relationship between domain registries and registrars. There are many, including several in the hacker community that would be happy to register you for no additional fee beyond the RIPE fee (the 50€/year for registration, not the 2000€/year for being an LIR).
