Look great if your German in a German registered car. Look like a flute on an Irish car.

daaaycent boy

it's a personal thing but they look sh*te on irish cars!!!

They look ridiculous just like those stupid nurburgring stickers on diesel a4s with rs badges and a sh!te body kit. Twats. Although yesterday I saw a lovely 08 GTI with what i thought was a nurburgring sticker but when i looked closer it actually said "neverbeen" I thought it was brilliant.

You're talking about your own car, aren't you?

And that's pretty much going to sum up this thread. Nobody is right and nobody is wrong.

It's like Blur and Oasis...... Coke or Pepsi........ Burger King or McDonalds.....

It's all reliant on opinion.

Why do I have to be German? Does that effect how they look?

* wonders if there is a 'boards.de' and if anyone there is contemplating putting Irish number plates on their car . . .

Do people really think they make their car look better?

Germany already runs the country so might as well have their number plates too. :pac:

Depends on the car, a 12 year old battered Focus.... Not a good look, A nice clean E36 BMW they look good.

Once spaced correctly and without the stupid stickers!

I must of been getting them confused with the black plates that the guards made me remove from my fiesta about 16 years ago, or else face a 1000 pound fine :eek:

Any one in a German car with German plates in Ireland should be obliged to dress like this



They must also voluntarily eat sourkraut and bratwurst.

That'll sort 'em.

I like them, but only on a really nice car.

Bearcat

Have them on a LC raggin a few mates.....slagging over and they look absolutely ridiculously stupid.

Back to real world.....I think this budget is the last straw for a lot of us.

Imagine late 40s going back to motor biking, something I did as a student ....that's how fughed a lot of us are so the mrs can bring the kids to school.

Oasis, Coke, McDonalds

FACT!

I actually think they look ok only some lads have the small badges for the german car tax which looks ridiculous imho.

Going forward a set of pressed metal plates looks great on any marque, those plastic plates the factors make up are horrible.

German plates were cool when no one had them - kind of like Air max but when,but then everyone started using them and the became uncool and played out - Skobies ruin everything

All wrong,

Snow Patrol, Fanta, KFC!!!!!!!

This thread is now about brit rock, carbonated soft drinks and fast food, no more silly regarding plate talk.

Oasis, diet coke, McDonald's is the correct answer.

Agree 100%.

Ninap

Eh, it's Oasis for the first two albums, Blur thereafter. Coke always (never that horrible p.ss Diet Coke, by the way). And BK, altho the occasional McDs is permitted.
