Default Another Great MOD: Custom Number Plate Surround

Hi everyone,

OK, if you liked Chrome Door Pins mod you'll like this one: Proper German number plates in Proper German frames. Zee German quality

1. Order high quality German metal pressed number plates (embossed or whatever they are called). These plates are road legal in the UK.

2. Order custom made stainless steel number plate surround from German company called CarSign. This stuff is of very very hiqh quality.

The front plate frame is custom bend for A8 D2 font bumper profile. It feels heavy and reliable. I ordered stainless steel, matching texture of material used on facelift A8 D2s on bumper mouldings and around windows. Chromed stainless steel is also available if you want to match grill chrome. They actually supply a variety of finishes, including carbon or plain black. Engraving on the frame or any custom color is also available. Oh well, whatever you want for your money

Enough words -- Pictures!!!

This thing is very difficult to photograph since it shines. I used dimmed light conditions and iPhone 3GS
You better go to CarSign web site to appreciate professional pictures.








Note 1: CarSign manufacture surrounds for D3 or any other car. I just don't know how to copy this thread to D3 part of the forum.

Note 2: Don't try these number plate surrounds with your UK plastic plates, since these surrounds are manufactured with great precison specifically for EU metal pressed plates. Yes you can trim a bit your plastic plates and insert them, but you'll lose the beauty. I tried.

Note 3: CarSign can manufacture your customised "inlay" at the bottom of the frame, just like the one below
