Default number plates

hi guys,

well our beasty is finally rego'd. It passed its blue slip on the 2nd attempt and is now finally on the road.
It's already been taken on it's first car cruise joining in the sids for kids newcastle cruise yesterday. but it desperately needs a personalised number plate. It just looks wrong having the yellow and black plates on it :( (sorry don't have any pics with the plates on yet)
Now I cannot come up with anything worthy so am asking for some ideas, I would be grateful for any help as I am not that witty to come up with something good.

Are you looking at paying the 400$ a year ones, or trying to get the 99$ a year ones? I can't remember what the FPV ones are

Didn't want to the spend the $440 a year for the personalised plus ones (any combo total 6 characters), but looking like we will end up doing so anyway.

The FPV ones can come in the following combos are available for $99 a year

999-AAA, 99-AAA, 99-AAAA, AAA-99A, AAA-999, AA-999, AA-9999

thanks for the suggestions so far

Try a few combinations at the RTA's number plate site to see what's available http://www.myplates.com.au/

You can get Black letters on a White background, not as bad as the Black/yellow

already spent a few weeks trying to work out something on there. The white with the black have the same annual fee as the FPV ones which is why we thought we would get them instead.
