Default 11 reg plates, where to buy?
They are meant to be released today, whats the best site to buy what i want from?

as all that come up on google, only seem to allow me to reserve it, and if they dont get it, will refund me.

My mate has bought one of these today, the only thing is he hasn't got a new car to put it on so he's holding it on retention until he can afford a new car.

Is that what everyone else is doing?

Don't you have to pay to renew retention every year or so?
