Anyway, sounds like there is some interest, along with a few problems to be made. Now we just need to get the okay from the Lounge Head Honchos and someone to spearhead the project. (Hey, I am just an idea man. Grin ) Or maybe a vendor could take it on as a small quantity community building affair. (And get their name on the plate in a discrete fashion?)

You can do US size and Belgium size, there's a lot that will use it. European std rear plate on a beetle is too big, it's ugly with a frame on it. A lot of guys (and me) use US size for the rear.

i just cut the sides of from my plate so it fits a us-size frame,ride with it now for about 5 years here in belgium never had a problem with even when cops drove behind me,
it is an oldtimer plate so i don't have to go to the control every year

wonder how that looks like...  got a picture of your car henk?

Sorry... I know this is intended to be a license plate frame thread, but since we're in Off Topic; I gotta see this '66 again. One of my two favorite model years.

Seriously COOL car!

This style of frame would be perfect. Looks just like the old VW frames from the late '70s and early '80s.

Next, would be which text to choose. Would we want it to say The Lounge on one part and the website address on the other? Or, leave the address off and choose something else? Either way would be cool.

Not to be a party pooper, but I would like Jon and myself to be included in the plans/decisions if this is actually carried out to beeing an official plate for The Lounge :-D

1> top : cal-look.no
     down : The Cal-look Lounge

2> top : cal-look.no
     down : It's a cal-look thing...

3> top : cal-look.no
     down : ...you wouldn't understand

4> It's a cal-look thing...
     ...you wouldn't understand

5> The Cal-look Lounge
     ...you wouldn't understand

Something like that could be nice, it would be cool to have the lounge written on it, so maybe instead of cal-look.no it could be cal-look.no/lounge. But for a perfect 70/80 look maybe it would be better to not write a website adress. #5 is cool.

That works for me. I'm sure there will have to be a vote, no doubt. After all, the webmasters have the final say so, like any other site.

But of COURSE. We wouldn't have it any other way, Trond & Jon. Speaking of which... what do you both think? The only other aspect I'll add is I think it would be really cool to use the royal blue background with white letters. Same way that Volkswagen had their U.S. dealer frames. Just a suggestion.

The more I think about that... I like it. Okay, so "The Lounge" either top or bottom and "Volkswagen" the same way?

I think it should just say "The Cal-Look Lounge" only. Whos remembers the old frame frames that said "Der Kafer" on them? They had a cool style of writing on them. Kind of an old english look. They should be nice chrome also and not the cheap stuff on most frames. Oh yeah, and leave the word "Volkswagen" off completely. Or else VWOA will confiscate them all.
