Although I completely agree with what looks to be your current choice (YAY PINK)

I have an idea for making the choice.

Get your kids to draw what they would look like (or just do a quick job in 'paint' and print them off), then get Toby to pick the one he likes! Whatever is on the bit of paper he starts eating, that is the one to choose! :

Pink would be far better than the red..
but in saying that, how are you going to tie in either red or pink?

Like the plates I have ordered for my car have red on them but I also have red inside the car and also outside...

Maybe you won't need to have any red or pink to tie it in.. Being black it should look good either way..

Don't know.. I am no help really.. I have just spent 3 weeks deciding then changing my mind on the way I want my plates and I think I have come to a complete decision (well for tonight anyways lol)...

Good luck with whatever you decide Jac.. sure it will look brilliant

have u thought bout the s and r series, as long as it starts with s or r, u can change the other 2 letters and 3 numbers, so you can have like sus 400, sly 243, rev 006. stuff like that and they are around 70 dollars for a one off payment

The combination of letters and number is what Jac really wants though.. it represents herself, her partner and their children..
So the option you presented would not be considered I believe....

Yep. Transport S.A, same place you pay your rego. Fill in a form and they'll either mail them to you or you pick them up.

Jac, I went with personalised as I couldn't justify (or understand) the annual fee for custom plates. 10 years for custom and you've blown 2k more than what personalised would have cost with the once off fee.

Pink background is fine for a females car.
I chose red in the poll but the pink available looks quite good from what I've seen.

Hi XR Chic

Have you considered this option. Might look better than the current choices. I have gone to a Custom plate now when I changed from a Blueprint GT to a Rapid GT-P - I wanted it to look right but the $190 a year is a pain.

Check out:

So if you want to beat em, ya gotta join em, and being manual makes the time even more credible.

definitely not pink or navy or green or any other combo..

the standard S.A plates look unreal with the tall lettering, do you get that with ur custom plates or not ? that would be what decides it for me. (i don't know if they are taller or thinner or if it's just the standard in black that makes it look good, all i know is i like them)
