Default New FPV Premium Plates

Got my new plates the other day...

Feb 71 is my birthday so I decided on that as a number combo...

Only got an XR8 at the moment... but they will look good on my next Ford... or should I say... FPV !


My Plates

My Plate on the rear

Upload the images to photobucket or imageshack.us and go from there.

Or you could e-mail them to me and I can put them up for you. PM for e-mail.

Gotta feel for the guys who own a GT or F6 numbered 271... Guess they could just buy HSV plates instead.

I am going to upgrade my GTP-044 plates to the new FPV style soon, only going to cost $210 for the upgrade.

The plates look great. But If I were upgrading to an FPV and got these plates, I would have waited until I got the car and then ordered the plates with the build number.

hell.... its gotta a FPV motor (albeit de-tuned)...

and by the time I upgrade to a FPV, the plates will not be available...

so I figure...

they can sit on my XR8 (baby GT) for a while...



how boring a world would it be if we all thought the same !!!

The other option is to simply "upgrade" your existing plates. This is what I did and it cost me $215.
