    You're doing it wrong...

    You've seen them all, the ones that make you puzzled, confused, cringe and cry.
    No, despite the euro plates your accord euro is still a honda!
    I think it must've been an optional extra or something.

    Anyway, put up photos of cars that you've found that are obviously not euro but with the plates. I'll start off...

    Doesn't quite have the same effect on landcruisers, though I can see your desire to express your fondness for trees


    Your lexus doesn't count either

    I've been waiting for someone to bring this up.

    In the past couple of months I've seen some Lexus' with Euro plates, and most recently I spotted a tarted up BA XR with Euro plates.

    It could be the plates are between vehicles and on the family's second car in the interim...

    Like the Toyota Tarago I saw with HDT-50L, unless it was a very random coincidence.

    So now you aren't allowed to have "euro" style plates except on car that is "european" ?

    Who makes up these "rules", and who gives these privileged individuals the authority to pronounce them as if they were the Pope ( who follows the doctrine of infallibility ie he can say things and then say they can't be wrong, ever ! )

    Better not look too closely at where some VWs were actually built then (South Africa, China, Mexico etc) !!!! ROFLMAO

    It's not to much as rules as it is known - no one is going to stop you from putting your euro plates on your Mazda Metro.

    Gotta admit though - some of those cars look better now they've got euro plates on them.

    Good idea for a thread! Was going to do one about 2 hours before this started but then thought "nnah, it's too similar to the Epic Fail thread".

    I can't see anything wrong with that picture, they're VW's biggest market, they sell just under a million cars a year there! Its just like calling Holden and Ford Australian...
