German Plates

[wells44]

Are all of these plates "illegal".
It does take the mickey tho, you put these plates on you 3 dr golf and get pulled, then some toff in his bently continental, with a font so bad you couldnt make it out with a telescope gets away with it. Rant over.
Personally i prefer the plates without the European D band

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 

The surrounds are black plastic with different writing on the bottom...I've got the ABT Wolfsburg tuning one. It has tons of holes in the back for you to screw it into the same holes as the reg plate and sit wherever you want it to. The plate then slides into the surround and you clip the bottom of the surround in place to secure it. You can unclip the bottom again by gently pushing the clips out....well worth it

agreed - I hav the same surrounds as Hyper, they look great.  I did chicken it slightly by having the standard UK font with the GB band, but they still look cool.

if people are worried about german plates dubmeister also do british fonts, but pressed metal like the german ones. no-chance of getting pulled then!! they look pretty cool too.

gem, i like the german banded ones. mine have a little dash between the two sets of letter/numbers and i've had people ask me why its a right hand drive if its a german car. maybe thats why i've never been pulled with them on, maybe the cops think its actually a german car?!
