Description

This article is from the Watercooled VWs General FAQ, by Jan Vandenbrande with numerous contributions by others.

26 What do the oval "B", "D" stickers on car's bumpers mean in Europe?

A: They stand for the country of origine. I use the same conventions
throughout this FAQ:

   B	Belgium
   CH	Confederatie Helvetica (Switzerland)
   D	Deutschland (Germany)
   F	France
   GB	UK
   I	Italia
   L	Luxembourg
   NL	Nederland (Holland)

The number plates of all EU states have the same
style now and show the country on the plate which makes the sticker
superfluous as long as you do not leave the EU. If you travel to
other countries you will still need the sticker!
