Both are good but I'd go the second one, more specific plate for a more specific car.

Plus it might add value later down the track, ya never know.

Unless said car gets tweeked and then has to be RSPECD.
I know what it say but I think it looks like RESPECTED.
If it had say 450 plus RWKW it would have to be respected....

the first one could be at home on any blown FPV but the second option is more specific to the R spec model.
keep the car for 40 years and it will be a collectable like the cobra. they should have all been in the black and red to make them a bit more unique.

Default Re: Plates

neither to me - to me they look like custom plates are a must have option no matter what the letters say

like with kev, i had thought it was respected until i read peter's interpretation of ###pecked

the first one looks like it could be at home on an hsv being blown up and all

i guess i am not a huge fan of custom plates, because all of the good ones with original thought put into them were taken years ago - what is left in most cases do nothing for me



to answer the question though
for the sequence of letters, i would probably think rspecd - although i doubt many would know what it means and just think it was self promotion
as they look on the car, the blnfpv looks better
