I would also check the legality of it.
It's a bit of plastic that fits around the plate. Of course it's legal.KevinCamaroSS said:
It is entirely possible that the German garages may not be permitted to sell their plate holder to be fitted on a non-German car.
It's a bit of generic plastic, but which just happens to have their branding printed on it. No other magic powers.KevinCamaroSS said:
Of course, a translation of the OP's German email would help.

It's a bit like the reaction a German would probably get from writing to a UK Jag dealer and asking for a dealer sticker for their rear window.

Also, it is possible that fitting a German plate-holder to a UK registered car would result in the police taking an interest in the car. Is that something you want for your wife?

Because many European countries change the plates regularly, few people actually screw the plates to the car. Instead, they screw a plastic frame on, which the plate clips into. Because the plates are government-issued, the dealer can't slap their advertising on them - so they advertise on the frame instead.
The OP thinks it's cool to have a random German dealer's advertising on the plastic tat that our long-term widely-supplied plates render irrelevant.
Is that it?????The OP thinks it's cool to have a random German dealer's advertising on the plastic tat that our long-term widely-supplied plates render irrelevant.
