Did you import your 14 1LE from Texas? Has it arrived in Germany yet?
Before I could get mine registered in the UK I had to have some modifications made to the car. In the UK we have an IVA test that needs to be passed before you can register the car with the Vehicle Licensing Agency in the UK.
They are very strict and I had problems with the lights and the wheels.
On the 1LE the ZL1 wheels stick out slightly further than the body of the car and that was an instant failure, I had to get some stock SS wheels to overcome that problem.
The headlights are flat-beamed so it wasn't a problem and the lights did not need to be re-aligned. If you've got the HID lights like me, they are not "EU/E Marked" so they are also am inspection failure. The company I used had to temporarily swap the headlights with "EU/E Marked" head lights to get it through the test.
The DRLs had to be disabled, and the rear turn signals changed from Red to Amber. Additional side LED amber repeaters were drilled into the wing mirrors too. An additional switch for a fog light was required and the fog light replaced one of the rear reverse lights.
I'll try and send you some pictures/videos if you like.
