Title: German/Euro Style number plates
Post by: GTI_16V on 18 May 2005, 16:09

Hi,

Does anyone know where i can get continental style number plates from?  i.e. the ones that have a black strip along the bottom that has the dealer information etc.

Something along these lines - preferably with a Wolfsburg dealership along the bottom, although any German garage will do!
I really want these and I have seen it once before on a UK car so somebody must know!!

you can't knock the hussle, apparently  :tongue:

fyi, the plates themselves don't have the dealer stuff on the bottom. that would be the number plate surround that you mount them in to :)

Depends what you mean.  :undecided: The number plate surrounds aren't illegal but the German number plates will be as they need to be white on the front and yellow at the back with black lettering, unless it's an older vehicle, can't remember what year, but my camper has black plates with grey letters and numbers and that's ok. I think the German plate lettering style is technically illegal too, but not sure.  :undecided:

Way round it is get the plates and stick them on but have a legal set available in the boot so when the fuzz stop you, you just spin them a yarn about being at a show and you forgot to take them off and then put the legal ones on etc etc.  :smiley:
