The mail finally arrived from Germany today. Not sure what the hold up was, perhaps a U.S. Customs inspection or maybe even a DOD check (evidenced by a small hole in the package, perhaps for a boroscope check??).
The plate is a newer Euro plate, rather than the old style.
Nearly sundown when I took the shot, reflection from the flash nearly washes out the Euro blue band and stars, but looks pretty good. Looks like it was made for the car
