BTW, I had black and white personalised plates whilst in Oz that I had for 20 years. When the RTA brought out white letters on red and white letters on blue, i painted my black plates to red and white (dragons) to match my red (dragons) car. I was once pulled over by police (um, speeding) and the good constable quizzed me about my plates. He asked if I had painted them myself. I said yes - professionally of course. He said "that's not allowed". I said "oh, ok". He said "see ya", and I said "cheerio".
