Hey guys, I know that this probably belongs in the classifieds but I wanted to post it here so it can be seen as it is only relevant for a day or so. I am on vacation in Europe right now and I know a guy who can make custom european plates for me. I can get Germany, France (yellow plate), Portugal or Spain made. I can get them in stamped-aluminum or acrylic for the same price.

I can have them made and bring them home with me in a few days. The price is $25 shipped to your door for a single plate. If interested, send me a PM with what you want on the plate, the country of choice and your mailing address. I'll reply with my paypal address; I'd prefer payment in advance so I don't wind up with someone's custom plates.

Orders
1. Chris (effutuo101) - MI SEIS - Spain paid
2. Dan (proto31) - GRUN 914 - germany paid
3. Steven (poorsche914) - ZU KUHL - germany paid

How many characters can fit on a plate?

I'd say about 6 with a space or 7 without.

OK, its 8:15 PM here, I'll be placing the order first thing in the morning tomorrow.

Pay pal sent. Confirmation number via pm.

I only now realized I slept through your awful fine offer to do this for fellow cruisers. I did pm you with my information just in case their might still be an opportunity.
Dang it all!

Bob

Awesome!! It looks perfect! I appreciate you taking the time to do these. I just finished the paint on my car this last weekend, this plate will fit well.

Dan

No problem Dan, im glad you like it. I get home hopefully on saturday (they're talking about flight cancellations on my airline) and I start classes monday but I'll find time and mail them latest wednesday.

Bob-I PM'd you back.

My son was in Germany a few months back & got this fo me.
He insisted it is road legal there?????

Ok, last two plates are done!

In his dreams ...


Pretty cool, but not so much legal.

This is what a real German license plate looks like:

Part 1, letters only, 1 to 3 letters:
This is a abbreviation for the County (or city in case of larger cities).
In the example above, this plate is from "Rastatt" (a county) in "Baden-Württemberg" (a state).

Part 2, letters only, 1 to 2 letters:
Random letters

Part 3, numbers only, 1 to 4 numbers:
Random numbers

Overall maximum number of symbols is 8.

And here's a map of all the current abbreviations ...

Nice map. Thanks for putting it up. I have KL plates but there seem to be a lot of different plates in the area I live. I have looked for a map like that before but I don't speak enough German to know what I am looking at.

very nice! thank you again. Looking forward to putting it on my car

Hey guys, sorry I haven't shipped the plates yet. I've had a crazy schedule at school all week but I have time tomorrow and will mail out the plates.

I wish I had seen this thread when it was open.
