anyone got any pics of the german style plates on their car, with the backing plates? looking to get some, but cant decide if they look better with or without the backing plates.

IMHO better with the backing plate.....

I think they look better without!

Andrew

go without them, gives the front and rear a cleaner look

Much nicer with!

No need to drill holes in the plate with the backing plates.

with the plate much more genuine look

stop confusing me!! anyone got pics so i can make my mind up.

Here's mine..

i guess backing plates it is. if i dont like them i can always leave them off.

I bought some nice plates for my car but after seeing those plates I think I'll have to get a set of those!

i have a white one on the back now

how about with no backing and with no plastic trim surround, now that looks much cleaner IMO, and of course arabic plates!!

mrlee

the arabic plates do look cool,

i think i prefer the plastic trim.

Without

NAH sorry Nav cheap plastic wrongness!!!! loose the plastic, half an hours polishing and it look real nice!! also not a rust trap for you water drivers!!

hmmm time for a change!!

I'd have to say neither option is worth the fines/hassle with the police, but if forced to fit them then backing plates would be present

Ive got them on mine now, and im well pleased with them.

Never had a fine or hassle from the police. Only ever bought it up when i was stopped for not having my seatbelt on...but he thought the D was for Denmark, when his colleague stopped laughing at him they both thought they was cool plates and 'advised me to get normal ones made'

If your that worried get normal plates made up, leave them in the boot and change if your pulled over.

and dont forget to change them when the car goes for the mot or you are likely to fail the test

simon stunning m3,,

i agree more germanyyy hehe with the backing plates, but what about the rear end? backing plate on the rear end to or the standard/factory black/grey plate?

anybody with pics with a rear backing plate fitted?

Cheers Nadz.

This is mine (again!), I haven't got one with the plate showing at the rear though, but it's the same design as the front, but in yellow, wish I'd gone for white now though.

Depends on the tester... mine passed OK !

I like the backing plates generally, but they can look to cluttered on some cars, fit and find out.

i saw Iain temples yesterday

looks good with the surrounds

that looks ace, just what i wanted to picture.

did you remove the original plastic frame/plate that goes behind the number plate?

like this on my car



from your pic looks like it has been removed (or maybe different on the m3's from factory) but just would like to confirm it?

thanks.
