Guys, umm, I was stupid enough to reset my laptop WITHOUT MAKING A RESTORE POINT and now I'm trying to get it back. My browsing data, cookies etc are obviously gone so I can't make perfectly aligned Talossan license plates. I hate myself... (I have reset my laptop just to get rid of my school account on it, stupid Microsoft logic). I've made a question on Microsoft's support forum and I'm waiting for an answer. If they can't help me, I do not see any other choice than to make a clean install of Windows. Hopefully they can help me...
So please don't ask me etc to make a license plate for you until I have the issue resolved.

Update: The support couldn't help me. It makes zero sense to have my laptop as it is... I'm doing a clean install

Yet another update: Did a clean install, I'm waiting to get my phone so I can install Authy and log into Wittenberg. License plate requests will be taken from me on approx. 10.02.2024. Why not sooner? Because from 05.02. to 08.02. I will have school project days. People who attend the school choir (including me) go there. So, that means that you can request me to make a plate for you.

Do you still have the plate on? Just asking

Colorado requires both front and back plates for operation so this is temporary (unless I do an off street SCCA Autocross).  Some US States require only a rear plate on most vehicles. Those are AL, AZ, AR, DE, FL, GA, IN, KS, KY, LA, MI, MS, NM, NC, OK, PA, SC, TN, & WV.

Sad, maybe you can put it behind the windshield and maybe the rear plate behind the rear window

In my opinion, front US-sized plates ruin the look of every car which is why they shouldn't be required but they are functional. Thankfully in Europe we have bigger plates that look good on every car, including front plates. Example from Romania below:

Agreed, though to be fair usually European car companies design their cars' front ends to work well with their plate dimensions, and understandably so. American ones seem to space things out well to work with North American plates -- and some of them include a cover plate for people who live in rear-plate-only states:
 

As someone in a dual-plate state, I think as things like fuel economy get more strict, we're going to see a backlash against them similar to what sealed-beam headlights faced in the early 1980s, but that's another discussion...

Most new cars can fit any plate now anyway

Looks like you have an old Wiesbaden plate and a Wolfsburg export plate

Back in 2016 I had purchased an Arizona plate on eBay for 10€, when I get home I'll send a photo of it.
