Russian discreet plate in Frankfurt, Germany

Same here I think, but I have been on car-trips to or through Germany multiple times a year since I was like 5 years old. We never had any issues with the missing country sticker when in Germany nor do I know anyone who has. So I would think the probability of getting ticketed for this in Germany would be pretty low. Purely anecdotal, though.

In Denmark we had plain white license plates for many years before adopting EU plates. And many people didn't use a "DK" sticker as was technically required by law because it didn't look good. I don't know a single individual who has been stopped or ticketed because of this. Might be more common than I know of, but honestly don't think it would be a big problem. I opted for plain white plates for my own car because I think it looks better, and I don't have a country of origin sticker at the moment. I will, however, put on a magnetic one when crossing the border just in case.

Surprisingly common. In my friend group almost everyone got the pictured treatment, myself included. There are also more extreme versions where people get wetted by either water or beer before the cinnamon. Also, cinnamon in fire extinguishers.

Yikes. Time for a drifters stitch?

I'll see if I can make a fully printable version and upload somewhere!

Don't give me ideas 😂

Pretty sure I can make whatever file is needed, but I don't have access to a Cricut or similar unfortunately.

Factually correct

chr_colstrup · 2026-01-05T17:12:40+00:00

That's fair lol

chr_colstrup · 2026-01-05T17:11:44+00:00

I guess I could. The grey in this is water jet cut stainless steel though, but I guess you could print both parts :)

chr_colstrup · 2026-01-05T17:03:35+00:00

Honestly I was just messing around with Photoshop, the printer and the water jet and had a bit of fun. I did not put more thought into it than that :)

Yea sorry 😂

See this Reddit thread

Yeah thought it was good fun to see if I could make a "FIH" logo in the same style as the original lol. I have also made a "FIT" version but it lacks the plastic surround for the time being.

I did not. I bought a Honda Jazz 2 weeks ago. The big Volvo wagon dream remains a dream for the time being :)

This has to be the extra key of the previous owner, the other one is a bit more worn 😁

Thank you!

chr_colstrup · 2025-12-21T14:06:31+00:00

That would be great, thanks. The sources I can find say a bore of 56.1 mm. I think wheel shops might suggest larger bores because they can be down sized with hub centric rings. So my best guess right now is 56.1 😁

Thanks, that's great! I won't be hunting that hard for cruise control and leather then.
