I was after some that weren't so council but there wasn't much choice I wanted from the dealer in Regensburg to tie in with the factory where the tourings were built but I got bored trying to translate my request :roll:

Lol I know are the dubmeister ones in the German font as I looked at theirs they could do the pressed plates but not the font. Around here they seem to get away with it Iv seen all sorts that are a lot worse than these :o:

No more acceptable or less council than any other of the other stupid fonts that were so popular with xr3i owners in the 90s.

I have no problem with pressed plates. Infact the mrs golf has a set.

I have a problem with fashion fonts which look worse than the plain simple uk ones ( pre and post 2001 versions )
