I'm not sure anyone will understand my post, but i shall try anyway.

I am from Scotland and have just taken delivery of my New Polo 9N3 GTI.

There not much information about the Polo GTI on UK websites, so i am trying to see what you guys are up to.

Andy




Here are some pictures of my Polo

I've got Some German Plates made up with my UK Reg Number. Whatdo you think

It is not legal in the UK, but they look really good

Hehe, the format is still not correct for Germany, but nice idea You would be stopped really soon by german police as the signs of permission (Zulassung ) are missing - so don't try when you decide to join us on a meeting one day

Tell me, isn't Scotland member of the EU Most of the european countries have the blue banner with the stars on their plates - is there any reason the scottish don't? And why is the rear one yellow? Tradition or just senseless?

In the UK we have to Have a White Front and Yellow Rear.

Pressed alloy plates are not legal in the UK, and we use a different font. We can use a GB border on UK plates. If you look at the pictures at the top you see standard UK plates. Lots of UK Dubs run German Plates, think its suits the German Origins Superbly.

I used to have a MK2 Golf with a WHite rear plate, the Police were not so happy about that

Hello and welcome here. Nice car.

Why do you have to have a white front and a yellow rear? What´s the reason?

Lol, I remember sth talking about the colour of the plates... When I was in England for the first time, I didn´t realize that the front plate was white, and the rear yellow... I just thought you could use either yellow plates (front and rear) or white plates (front and rear), depending on the car. So I watched loads of cars passing by, asking myself why some have yellow plates and some white ones

In the UK we have to Have a White Front and Yellow Rear.

Is there any official reason for this? Some kind of "make our country more colourful"?

The Netherlands for example use yellow plates, but with the EU-banner. And they have yellow front AND rear

Its the Law, it's been like that since the 70's. Prior to that UK cars had black plates with silver letters.

It confuses people, i've had some German Tourists come and speak German to me because they thought i was German

Hi,

i like your car very much! it's amazing!!

[conqeror]

Hello!

Nice car, a Polo is a good decision anyway, you know?
I hope you've got some questions, for me this would be a good
opportunity to help and to practise some english.

Did you made up plans about what to change on your GTI?

[Calsonic9N3]

i like your front plate. it looks even better only white back and black letters.
have fun on this board.
