Fully legal if the car's registered in Germany. It just has to leave the UK once every 6 months IIRC

Erm... Am I allowed to say I like them?

Think dark grey Saff cossie, yellow headlights, nicely specced and German plates. Especially if it's LHD.

Very nice and European IMO

To be fair, UK plates look wank on VW's. So do German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian...

VW's just look wank
