    Here are all mine that I've come up with so far...

    HERR AUTO - Meaning "Sir" Auto. It's a title.
    LH60 SKD - Is actually an English Licence plate I made myself. The "LH" situates me in the Wimbledon area in London, the "60" is the year that I made the plate, 2011, and "SKD" are random numbers. Which I learned how to do here
    RED BARON - My GLI is red & German...
    RÖTE HURE - Red Whore in German
    UTLÄNNING - Foreigner in Swedish
    AUSLÄNDER - Foreigner in German
    BÖLZPLATZ - Soccer Field in German
    BUNDESWEHR - "Federal Armed Force" I.e. German Military
    DAS KAISER - The 'King' in a manner of speaking
    ESECUTIVO - Excecutive in Italian. Notice that it is an Italian plate.





    Feel free to comment, discuss, suggest, say your going to use these, or anything else along the lines of European plates

    I love that Aüslander plate man!
    it will have people asking you what it means

    I got what I think is a unique phrase on my europlate on my 89 GTI 16V

    it says

    ICH BIN VW

    with the VW logo, i think its a clever idea

    Being someone with German as first language i can tell you they are quite ridiculous.
    Herr Auto wtf? That's like "Mr. Car" What's that supposed to express?
    Das Kaiser? Is that wrong article on purpose? It's "Der Kaiser"
    Same thing with the wrong umlauts. It's "rote", not "röte".

    Not hating, but i just thought i'll let you know that for germans/german-speakers it looks/ sounds enormously stupid

    I'm going to blame google translate for the rote one. Typed in Red Whore and that's what it gave me

    I don't want to look stupid to those who can actually speak the language so are there any others that need fixing?

    Dude, don't think about it too much. It's not like it's a tattoo. If this decision is so taxing on you and you need to have a Euro plate, then just go on Ebay and buy an authentic, used plate that has actually been on German roads. It'll look way less cheesy (IMO) than a custom job that you'll endlessly have to be explaining the meaning of to everyone.
    Too cheap to be sheep.

    Oh I'm not thinking about it that much, I just wanna make sure that the name that I come up with is correct and proper in German. But I will be buying OEM German plates and using those as well.

    I don't suggest anything vulgar. That would be childish.

    Those are small OEM tales. As for the plate, it says "C**t Hare."

    Kaiser is emperor, König is king. Also you are better to use Der when applying it to people [male], weather, wine, land features and cars. Rule of thumb, giving it personal meaning and relate it to personal thought, theory or belief. Stay away from offensive terms and thoughts, as it lacks class. If you are of German heritage [use a German plate and term] and other, use other [relate it to yourself or your car]. As noted your car being red and a GLI [built in Wolfsburg I assume], "Rote Wolf" would be appropriate.
