    Default weird "MY CALAIS" number plates has anyone seen them before?

    aye boys long story but my vn calais came with stock or well im pretty sure there stock number plates.
    anyway they say "my calais" down the bottom. some pr#ck has stolen the rear one and the last owner went to see if he could get a replace ment but they said they wernt avable anymore??
    he had quite a few decent cash offers for the set before one got pinched. just wondering has anyone seen any others like it?? or could tell me anything about them?? im gonna try get a new rearone made up even if i have to take it to a sighwritter
    cheers

    I know in the ACT you can have custom writing under the number plate

    See slogans here: http://www.rego.act.gov.au/assets/PD...pplication.pdf

    Might be the same for SA
