Default New Plates

Well I finally decided to fork out some cash for number plates... :

I think i'm going to go with [XR~8220] in Vivid Blue, hopefully will match the stripes? I can't believe nobody has grabbed them yet. :



What do you guys/gals think?
Any other ideas?

Id get them in white though personally, leave the emphasis on your stripes.

Could you get the XRB-220 standard issue ones?
A while back you could buy plates that occur naturally in the sequence, you merely get to reserve them and have them printed now.

I'm a fan of personalised plates, but only the ones that make you think.

I have ordered them now. Only costing me $30 to order & $130 per year, better than $470 per year to get 220-XR8. It was a personalised plate, where as XR-8220 costed sweet f/a in comparison. Like I said, I can't believe nobody has grabbed them yet.

Yeah I know. That's part of the reason I picked it. I was looking at a photo of my car, and your car was in the photo too. I seen the colour of your plates and went : that nearly matches the stripes.
