So not only does it make you look like a pillock, but if you get seen you'll be asked to have them removed.

Don't get me wrong, I like the look of pressed-metal plates. But only in the standard UK font/colour/country combination.

I like the german plates. But then I like black plates too.

That is great, especially given the engine

It is very fast for what it is.

I have pressed metal plates on my Mk2 Golf. They say GB rather than D, but the font is mainland Europe standard rather than UK.

There's no such thing as a "mainland Europe font".
Every country has a different font.

I'm not, but thanks for the info.

It appears that DIN 1451 is reasonably standard:

I guess this is the one I was referring to.

And why do they all seem obsessed with pedobear?

I've yet to see a car with a pedobear sticker on... apart from my own of course.

I've had the same sticker on my rear windscreen for about 4-5 years!

On a slightly related note, someone at my work has a Citreon C5 with his private plated, pressed metal. It looks terrible on new cars!

There is a C5 around here with a big old silver GB logo on it, like you'd get on old minis and the like... looks idiotic.

I only draw cocks on other people's cars. Namely in snow or frost
