Registration Plate Covers.

They're not covers. They're show plates. The road plates come off. The one above also has Irmscher plate surrounds which can also be fitted with normal road plates.

A few places you can get show plates. eBay will have them, but there's plenty of specialist sites.

That's a standard German plateholder. Here's a pic of my Corsa from 2010 with UK plates mounted in such holders, its a German-market LHD car that came with the typical plateholders from the dealership:



When I lived in Scotland with my wife for a few years, I got the car registered with the DVLA. The UK and German plates are the same height and width, except the UK plates are thick plastic (as you know) whilst the German ones are stamped metal. The UK plate just barely fit into the plateholder; I was able to get it in without trimming the UK plate but someone else might have wanted to trim them a bit, as the plateholders vary in the way that the bezel locks the plate in.

If you or anyone on the forum would want a set, they're available on UK Ebay. Bear in mind that whilst I was able to get my UK plates to fit without trimming anything, some designs might require a bit of trimming to either the plate or the plateholder to get them to fit the thicker UK plastic plate.
