Not mine.

How does he get to the gas filler with the plate bolted to the rear panel?  Not exactly easy fill-ups.

Looks like a clip on each side.Bet the plate is "quick release" which could be handy(in more ways than one) ;)

That would make sense.  Looked like fasteners in the small photo. 

I think he needs the rotating license plate trick like on Bond's Aston.  Those letters/numbers are freaking HUGE!  A blind cop could see then from a mile away.

Back in day we was not alowed to use this licence plate format. The normal format was 4,3 X 20,5.

You could get a plate in the format of 13,4 X 8,3 if you applied for it. This plate did not always fit a US made car, so you had to modify it a little. This modification was not legal, so you often got a ticket from the police.

Corvette owners had a bigger problem with the front plate!

Licence plate light was mandatory, and if the DMV told you it was not good enough you had to get a bigger and 'better' one!

Thing has improved, so now we are alowed to use US plate format.

Two T-5s in the upper picture, one from Landkreis Kitzingen (Bavaria/Germany). I think I remember the one with the side exhaust.
An obvious customized show car from Frankfurt/Germany in the lower one.
