RENAULT :

Plates manufactured in the Renault factories always end with 92 (Hauts de Seine département code), and there is a large space between the 4 digits and the 2 letters. In this space, can be located a small rectangle or even two rectangle, a small one in a larger one. On some other plates manufactured by Renault, the diamond shaped logo may follow the letters.
In automobile magazines, Renault showed new models with registrations like 19xx RN92, before this serie be used as a normal passenger serie. On this picture, the small triangle means the car was authorized to access a Renault plant, located south of Paris.
