    Nah. It's just a thing that some people like to put on European import cars just for fun. Sometimes the plate will not be a real plate, it'll say like "eurötrash" on it or like the name of the project car. Other times it'll be the same as their actual plate number.

    It's always either a European import car or somebody making fun of that trend.

      Ah, makes sense, thanks.

      As an aside and if you're curious, after searching about it a bit, the fake NY plates in the picture I posted above are also strictly speaking illegal / non-compliant in France (despite being gladly sold here by the aforementioned Paris car dealer, which is almost certainly where the car pictured came from); though they also show an actual real plate number - I checked - so it'd likely be a misdemeanor - in fact I looked it up: it's a 135€/145$ bill; given these cars apparently sell for at least 80k€ I'm guessing the shitheads sporting such plates just see it as the cost of looking like americans.
