German Plates
« on: 07 August 2006, 09:50 »
I'm sure we have had posts about these before but can anyone recomend a place to buy these from? Also What style of german plate should I get for my Mk1? There seems to be quite a few to choose from! Does anyone know what colout would have been on my car in 1982 when it was manufactured (if it had been in Germany) as there seems to be black and silver or black and white.

thanks for your help,

Gem  :smiley:

i got mine from dubmeister, but there are a few places to get them from. www.germanplates.com funnily enough sell them! :laugh:

i'm pretty sure they would have been white with black letters, front and back.

Obvioulsy these plates are for show use only on cars built after 1972. Otherwise you could get pulled over and fined by bored coppers for  having illegal number plates. Which i'm sure we are all aware of and would never ever do!

Dubmiester do some good plate surrounds aswell, you can clip the plates in and out so if you get hassel from deh plod then you can change them there and then :wink:

Think the plates and surrounds delivered cost me £55 for both  :smiley:

Are the surrounds made of metal? Are they easy to attach to car? What do people think of the 'D banded' plates? 'D banded' or plain? Can't decide!

Cheers  :smiley:
