German Plates on Japanese cars?

I Was VB

Thoughts???

Dont think they have a choice over there, you have to have a number plate on the front and rear of the car.

I'm starting to go off the German plate look, there's too many about. Might change back to a regular metal stamped plate.

madness ...lots of VAG heads would be giving out

In Germany you can select your own initials or words etc on your number plate for something like 20euro. It still has to have the state you're in etc but there is a section you can make your own.

Why exactly?

Dunno, maybe because the car is Japanese, and the plates are German, therefore, it would make more sense to put Jap plates on it.

Absurdum

sure aren't the VAGinas puttin fake carbon bonnets on their ****boxes nowadays anyway :pac:

German plates on Jap stuff that isn't in Germany looks daft. German plates on a Skoda looks sofakingweetoddad too, they look almost as sofakingweetoddad on actual German stuff too though.

If you like them then get them. Who cares what people think?

Was going to ask where he got the AMG Monoblocks from, would look nicer on my clk :pac:

They look enormous tho, are they 18"?

It's just a style of font folks.. no different to italics or bold or Yellow reg's... If they like it let hem have it.. Nothing to get your panties in a bunch over..

You wouldn't put a VW badge on a Skoda, looks stupid and gives the impression of wishful thinking...

Sorry, But who was talking Badges here?

So what plates do you put on a civic in germany?
Or on a Golf in Japan?

I honestly have no idea as to what the stupid hype is regarding plates.

Same as asking
Why do some people buy Toyota's in Ireland ? They are Japanese after all ain't they?


Stupid mentality if you ask me.

Theres a pattern forming there. It continues with anythign in Ireland on Irish plates, anything in the UK on UK plates etc etc......

Paparazzo

I can't believe some people thing it's wrong to have german plates on a non german car! But german style font on an Irish plate is ok?

savagecabbages

I dont think its wrong, I just think anyone who does it is an idiot.

Anyone who thinks German font on a number plate makes their car look better is slightly mental. Standard pressed metal plate ftw.

So if it is OK for a Volks or BMW to have German font here then why not a Civic or whatever?

savagecabbages

he meant its not OK, unless said cars are german registered...

So if someone likes german font and has a non german car there an idiot??
Yea that's great thinking...
It doesn't matter if they may prefer that style font an idiot is an idiot I suppose.

What about a MINI? There designed and engineered in Germany but built in the UK?

Is someone an idiot for putting german plates on a MINI?

I'm guessing you have them on your MINI ?

In my eyes. Yes.
OP wanted opinions. I stated mine. Never said I was going to stop anyone from doing so, I just think its silly...

If you REALLY insist on putting non-Irish style plates on an Irish Mini, It was designed by a Norwegian/Spanish American born in Morocco, to echo a 1950s British designed car for a German company which own the original British one, so I've no idea what style plates to put on it...

On a German registered car fine...on an Irish registered car sad

I've even seen people put german dealership badges on as well...very very tragic

Wonder do they put on a german accent as well?

That reminds me of the sky blue Lada Riva that I used to see in the Ballycullen area with K G B in large letters down the side.

The fake test/seal stickers on any irish car is/looks worse than a german style on a jap car.



This style with the Irish County and dashes between the numbers/letters look good.

Even moreso on a Mini. But surely no one would be that stupid.

How can someone be an idiot if they do it purely for aesthetic reasons on their own car to suit their taste? Taste thankfully differs but it certainly doesn't make the driver an idiot.

In much the same way as I would consider someone who went about their daily business in a tuxedo to be an idiot even if were suiting their own taste I would consider someone with German plates on a Bini to be an idiot. It is quite simply a matter of opinion.

Why do you have to label someone an idiot because they are doing something you would not consider doing yourself,why can't people just look and say "well he is doing something i wouldn't do but more power to him" live and let live.

Very politcally correct there :pac:
As said, it's a matter of opinion, did you not ever consider someone an idiot for something they did? I don't go around pulling German plates off cars, I just think it looks daft and voiced than in a thread on the internet. Obviously all the lads with German plates on there cars won't agree, such is life, do I give a feck, no, not really

I'm on the border by having them on an Opel, not a VAG car (thank god ) but German all the same.

I just like the font, I have the county, the dashes, and the IRL euro sign:

Or even worse! The ones that are split like:

02T N567

With the service stickers between the letters and a German dealer plate surrounds.

Daft and with the plate arranged that way, illegal.

People still buy Fiats..
Are they also to be considered idiots?
