I'd like to see a pic of one on a car, but I don't really see the point of advertising a dealer on your car any more prominently than the law demands

Some folks like the whole 'German' thing about the plate surrounds though, same with the German-style plates, etc.

If it were linked to quattro and wherever the '8 was built then I'd be tempted to stick some on as a nod to its heritage, but not something I'm desperately in need of before a whole host of other things.

Yes, I love these, but I could never work out exactly what was needed and from where.

The plates from the UK company, the surrounds from Germany and is a backing plate required as well? And with no distributor anywhere near Scotland, I gave up in the end.

How did you do it Sergey?
