Defo D band :)

Without the D mate. Just plain europlate.
In New Zealand we can also use the black background plates, front and rear.
:smiley:

Def D band, I keep meaning to order a set myself.
-
D band = :cool:
-
highly illegal. those plates wont be soo cheap when you get pulled over and fined :tongue:
D band :cool:

Can't fine you for German plates iirc Black and silver however unless your a foreigner you will get stiffed for I ran round with them on for about 5 months before chatting to a police officer of the law in the Asda car park one night :D we had a mass debate about it at some point can't be ringed searching Slick will tell me off for not searching won't he!

They can and they most likly will, the font, spacing & colour must be correct in order to be road legal :)
Spacing it as per the UK plate and using the right colours makes it less obvious, but the German plate font is still illegal ;)

^ How true that man. My MOT tester keeps on going on at me for the smoked ones on my Mk4, and the German ones on the Mk2, but he rides a Ducati with the LOUDEST pipes ever, and he calls me illegal........
Dubmeister do pressed (UK font and type setting) for a good price, and I think they'll overtake the German plates in 07'.

I did see them actually and thought they looked pretty smart, but they're twice the price of these german ones i've got so i'll see how i get on with them!

Had also seen these and dubmeister ain't far from me, but it's a cost I don't need and I ain't really a car to show off, but i'm proud of it in my own 'special' way :grin:
Although yeah, I must admit the pressed british style plates are quite nice. I've only ever seen one car with german plates in bristol, was quite a nice modded black GTI with clubgti stickers in the window and a very very nice VW motorsort gearknob i'm now craving..

D band. I reckon you should get some stadt badges while your at it.
-
are they realy illegal has anyone actually been fined for them! i ran around with white d plates front and back all summer and only got told to change the back one once!no mention of the front one! no fines no nothing!

the font ive got on my current plates is illegal and im thinkin of gettin a set of the UK font pressed plates, but im also really feeling some german ones with the stadt stickers :undecided:
however, id go without the D band, IMO a plain europlate would draw less un-wanted attention from the 5-0 compared to a banded one, and would equally as cool to those in the know.

They are definitly illegal front or back. You may or may not get away with it, depending on the coppers in your local area! Best thing is to keep the old plates in the boot then you can say you forgot to swap em after a show. May get you out of a fine ;)

D Band Defo! Get a nice set of frames too! :cool:
