This is the plate that I am getting for the front of my Jetta. It is not yellow, it is just the lighting. The sticker is ripped off because that is required by German law when the registration has ended, since their registration sticker is on the license plate. To me and all other New Yorkers it is very strange to us because ours is on the front window along with the state inspection. What the letters mean on the plate is that the HN means the city center it is from. Ex. New York City. The city that it says on the plate is the city of “Heilbronn”. The F is the outlying town from the city. Ex. Queens. On the plate the F stands for “Frankenbach”. So all together, the plate says “Heilbronn – Frankenbach 1744″ but it is written as “HN F1744″. It is very confusing but I am trying the best to explain it.

My plan is that I am going to remove the front license plate with hanger on currently and zip tie the plate for now to the lower drivers side corner of the lower grill. Than I am going to clean up the bumper, drill new holes and, mount the plate.

My next idea was to also change all of the emblems on the trunk over to the German versions. The correct European name for the Jetta is “Bora” and the “1.8T” has a red T while the US version has all chrome numbers/letters. Also thinking about all black VW emblems on the grill and trunk lid.
