German style number plates
« on: 11 April 2005, 20:53 »
I'm gona order a set of these coz I think they could look cool, I don't know whether to get white plates front and back which I know is ileagal or white front yellow back as it should be. I know they're probs not totaly legal anyway but figure I have less chance of getting done if I have proper colours. What do people think? Any photos of people with yellow back plates?

Cheers, acko

Yeah I was gona get mine from germanplates.com. I got a tornado red mk2 and although I think it would look loads better with a white rear plate I can't be doing with the hasstle of getting pulled so yellow it is. Before I spend all my money though I was wondering if there will be people doing these at gti international? I'm gona head down for the first time and thought there might be someone down there doing them? Any chance they'l be any cheaper?

Yeah had a look at that eurotags bloke but got a bit confused!  Just ordered some from germanplates.com for 30 notes. White front and yellow rear with frames and shipping, aint too bad, lets hope they're good quality!

Mine took about 10 days IIRC. Very pleased with 'em, too. Would definitely recommend germanplates over Dubmeister, who don't seem to ever answer emails (even when you want to spend £600 on wheels, let alone the plates :undecided:). Much cheaper, too - although they only do plain black plate holders, not the (really expensive) ones with "autohaus wolfsburg" or whatever printed on them.

I went for yellow on the back, too. Acko, FTP is playing up at the mo but I'll try and get some pics up again later.
