sneak peek of latest mod...

here's the latest addition to my polo.. some lovely german plates!

as stupid as it sounds, i felt my old plates ruined the look of the car as they were peeling and in the big old font! i badly wanted the german plates and managed to get them cheaper than it would cost to get UK ones, 13 quid p&p all in!

ok so there are legal issues with them but I think they're far better value.. its embossed, fully reflective and pressed metal!

i'll get more pics up including the front, once i give the polo a good wash..

some seller on ebay... europl8 is his user name, delivery took a week but top notch product nonetheless!

just to let u kno, arnoldo looked up the seller already.. he's slightly raised his price to Â£15.99 inc p&p.. still pretty good tho!

the listing doesn't state that they are reflective

I've asked the seller just incase, don't fancy ordering them and then receiving a set of non-reflective ones

Being reflective is hardly a worry when you run german plates

lmao

They looks great fella

I know but trust me you're far less likely to get stopped.
my mate is a trafic cop and he told me the reason most guys who have euro plates get stopped is because they stand out a mile because the plates are not reflective.

I would have thought the german font would have been a give away they were illegal! haha

I've not had any trouble *touch wood*

Yea even I was worried they weren't reflective but they guy said they were full euro spec (ie. reflective)... once i got them i took a pic in the dark with just the flash of a camara phone, pics should clear up any worries...

it's just that I know some pressed euro plates out there are not reflective.
