Kinda wish we had vanity plates. I mean, you've got them, but so do the Germans, Austrians, Belgians, etc. etc. Not us though.

Why would you want to put your sister-in-laws name on your car ?

Nah, we're stuck with this rigourous system of one pair of digits, and then two pairs of letters. When the combinations run out, they simply change the pairs round a bit.
Too bad...

what if you import a car in, does that have to have it's plates changed?

Yep,
Imports are required to be tested and if approved, get a new reg number that fits the Dutch system... Lotta hassle to get it approved in the first place though

I've got 2 personal plates. One on the GTi, which near as damn spells my surname and the other is on my VR6 which again near enough spells GOLF.
For me its just a part of modding my car and personalising it to me.
