Bimmersport Rego Plate Surrounds

[OLLIE 26]

Thanks to Brian (Cosmos) we are going to produce some plate surrounds to simulate the longer euro plates.

This is our way of saying "f**k you" to plates.co.nz and providing you guys with a way to achieve a euro plate look without breaking the law or the bank. The surrounds clip onto standard rego plates but are sized longer to fill the space on european cars.

We'll be selling them at $25 or $30 TBC for a set including postage .... that's a much better option than forking out 500 bucks or whatever plates.co.nz charge for euro plates

Before we go ahead and make them it's up to you guys to decide what they look like, I've come up with some design options and would like you to VOTE!

If you can't decide on one, you can choose more than one, we might end up making 2 variations, but don't get carried away ...

comments welcome ...

I like the ///M stripes but don't like the "BS" on it. At a glance, and to all and sundry it's just going to read BULLSHIT

[Guest Simon*]

So I vote "C" - sans BS please

[OLLIE 26]

you make a good point ... would you change it to "NZ" or "M" or remove the letters altogether?

Probably drop it altogether. "M" is not appropriate I reckon and "NZ" would look out of place. I suppose a roundel is out of the question

If we're talking about 'C' then remove the BS and increase the /// stripes to a similar size as the fern logo IMO.

Edit: If the plate frame chosen has Bimmersport - New Zealands Online BMW Community then I think its fitting to have the NZ Stars & Fern either side. I wouldnt mind seeing the text normal rather than italic even thou it is in the general Bimmersport logo.

Is it wrong that I hate all the lame patriotism of the NZ logo / silver fern?

Where's the German plate replica option

Otherwise I choose C without the "BS" lettering and a bigger M stripe logo.

Agree. The 4 stars and Fern are a bit lame unfortunately

[Nobimmer 694]

Think C but ditch the BS on the side for something else.

[OLLIE 26]

So which one of these ... ?

problem is the rego number will always look like it's aligned too far left ..

[Guest Simon*]

Meh. Still prefer C

[Mark 178]

"I" with plain blue on the other side and the bimmersport text top and bottom.

Boom!

[OLLIE 26]

"I" with plain blue on the other side and the bimmersport text top and bottom.

Boom!

so J then?

[Mark 178]

^ That wasn't there before...

But yes, I will buy a set of those please.

[Guest Simon*]

Nope. No good

[OLLIE 26]

It's between C and E anyway ...

[Guest Simon*]

OK. I prefer the black ones is all really

Might be good to have both?

[Smac01 12]

These look cool!

Whichever gets decided on, count me in for a set.

[E30 325i Rag-Top 2957]

Great idea. Option C without the BS and bigger M stripes if possible.

Can I choose one with different numbers and letters on it, my rego isn't AB7569?

Put me down for a set of whatever is decided upon unless it has some German flag or D on it, in which case you can FRO !

H

/thread

[e30plz 1]

E and J imo.

[Cale 36]

H or J.

But if not, then E.

Don't like the M stripes at all.

[Gotheschu 1]

Yea. Screw the fern i think. Maybe the german ones but on the right side stick the //M Stripes with a white bkg?

[Silver Fox 43]

E for me thanks, I'll have 3 sets.
