    Not into them at all, I do stop and double take at these whenever I see them (always a NI/UK plated car) - german style but seems a bit different - maybe it's just because they're on a UK / yellow plate. I'll just stick with the standards.

    My take is that anything (german style included) other than standard is naff. But everyone to their own!

    On an aside, I notice a lot (especially golf's) of late, that are slammed and with no front plate whatsoever - how are they getting away with that? Or are they?

    They're not, its illegal to not display a front licence plate. I assume its only a matter of time....but presumably, they have excuses of they fell over etc.
