Over this past week ive seen a couple of cars (BMW and a Golf) with German plates on them, at first i thought they were real until i had a second look and they turned out to be British reg numbers, i thought these look really cool and probably the best subtle mod ive seen on a car for years, have any of you guys seen them?

 

they have been about for ages... lol... i really like them on the right motor..

 

Totally illegal, what sort of muppet would fit them to their car?

Oh.. hang on. me

 

I have a set on my BMW, think they look good.

 

and me .......opps

 

Saw then on a Mondeo @FITP. Looks like they were intended to be used on a VW because the plates had fake district stickers of Wolfsburg (where VW headqarters and some production plants are) on them. AND there were emission test and vehicle safety test stickers that have already expired.

So WHEN you intend to use german style pressed plates, get some with "GB" on them and without the stickers!

P.S.: Don't try to go to Germany with them on your car. Might cause big trouble.

 

I had them on my M3 a few years ago...



Never really had problems with the police as such, one copper even said it looked good at one point

 

Yep they do look cool on german cars

 

My r32

 

Now thats a PROPER car

 

I have german plates on my cars.... oh wait...

Seriously, as XR2 said: if you plan on going to the ring or something... Don't do it, especially not with the TÜV and "Stadt" seals. You're bound to get done biiiig time...

 

i think they look sad as fuck. people who do that must have more money than sense, but then that's obvious if they have a german car

 

Dubmeister supply uk legal pressed metal plates, obviously uk font and spacing with gb, but they look lovely though

 

So spending 1000's of pounds doing up a Sierra isnt sad as fuck then? lmfao!

 

on www.kennzeichen24.de you can order your own German Number Blade

 

have a look at this 911 ..
Genuine german plate

 

if you're suggesting that i did that, you're very much mistaken

 

that was my mondeo lol, the stickers were already on the plates when i bought them,
but not being german myself, i didnt know or care what they ment, i removed the stickers
at the show when someone pointed it out to me......well you never know i might have been
pulled by some german police on the way home pmsl.

 

heres what i had on mine

 

Never been keen on the idea of seeing all these french/german pressed plates on cars over here. Asking to be pulled and in all fairness and i think it looks utterly crap

just my opinion

 

i much prefer these plates to german fake ones, but only on older cars

 

Does that mean we should all put yank plates on our Fords.

 

Sorry wrong pic

 

VW Polo = built in Slovakia

Fiesta = built and engineered in Cologne/Germany

Focus/C-Max/Kuga = engineered in Cologne, built in Saarlouis / Germany

etc...

But yeah, I guess a Polo is still superior German quality... MY ARSE!

 

It was me, I told your clubmates...

 

When I first got my M3, I had steel plates pressed with the region stamps etc... thought it looked good... for a few weeks!

They soon came off! Std plates back on!

 

Just that you know, those stamps are certificate of MOT and certificate of registration/tax...

Imagine if I'd go ahead and photocopy a tax disc and put it on my german registered car... I'm sure the british plod wouldn't be too happy if they caught me...

 

i think they look shit

 

thanx for pointing it out to us, i did wonder what they were there for.

 

Why not, if you're German! These are in the same idiotic league as incorrectly spaced plates.

 

here's mine

 

Mine :P

 

I had them on my old Fiesta. Loved em.

 

i hate incorrectly spaced plates, and bodged letters/numbers but these arnt quite as bad.

look a bit daft witgh the bits in the middle though....

 

I think they look utter shit.

 

That's realy nice

 

Your car will get scrapped with them on in the UK.

 

Stretchy...

Which wheels and tyres are these?

 

ive got them on my xr3i and my focus and gettin a set for my mrs's zs

but i had the D and a dash between the latter's and got pulled and made me take them off

no i just have the German style lettering its fine

 

heres mine
