Norbert, the registration plate / licence plate E-CA1, is this a special plate ?
Most German plates I have seen have 7 characters.

Hi Rob,
The number plate is very short (physical size)for a passenger vehicle in germany and is barely legal. As for the amount of letters and numbers, the first letter states where the vehicle is registered, E = Essen. If it had 2 letters and they were for example ES it would be Esslingen. Also bigger Cities have mostly only one letter example B = Berlin, H = Hamburg, K = Koeln ( cologne), F for Frankfurt, M for Munich and so on. The second letter(s) after the area just starts with the first in the ABC and continues with every registration only the the number(s) change (up to 9999 in some areas).The the next letter(B)starts after that. So the very first vehicle registred in Essen could have been E-A 1,the second E-A 2, and so on. It is also possible for a small fee to get a plate with initials and numbers asked for if available. Due to the fact that the plates with only one letter and number are very short they have been taken most of the time.

I like that gas filler/cap as well.

Granted I could not get his website to work to see more?

Yes you are right! Normally, short numberplates are only for motorcycles and cars with US type numberplates. If you have luck or a good friend at the "Zulassung" (Thats where your car is registered), then you may get such a license plate.
You can choose the numbers and letters on the number plate, provided that they are free and not already in use... If you have a 1303 a nice numberplate would be for example: WOB-VW 1303 (WOB=Wolfsburg)

The link would'nt work for me, but I crave more info on this car.

Suspension mods-like what kinda struts used, and how much of a drop..

Wheels/Tires-size and width of wheels, they look small, no bigger than 15 at least, yet TRULY capture MY idea of eurolook, and are DEEEEP, which is awesome. And size of tire...maybe a 205? Get that link working or post more pics. THIS IS EUROLOOK.

195 tire on a 8.5 rim ?? I guess that's how they get that 'round edge' look to it.
(For comparison,I'm running 205s on a 7.0 rim)
