Have you got any photo's??





On another note, If I went for german plates, I would want the little round parts between the numbers!

Nope the germans use plastic tags that stick on, theyr'e not embossed.

Germanplates.com can make a plate with any configuration of spaces/dashes that you want. I've got a set from germanplates and am really happy with them, they've saved me from a parking ticket too so have payed for themselves winkeye

Cheers,

I have them also on my Motorsport and Im well pleased with them.
Got them from the same place as Ian above, very good service - they send you an email when they have sent them and ask you to e-mail them in return, when have the goods!.

been fined,and had countless vehicle defect forms
not worth the risk not at 35 notes anyway
thats well harsh i can't see what the problem is with german plates, especially after seeing some of the graphic plates the ford and saxo nutters have

I got a set from german plates and can vouch for the excellent quality and customer service. Have had them on for about three months now and havent had any bother from the cops, i work right in the centre of town and they have walked past my car many many times and not said anything.
