Title: Edition 30 Build Number Plaque
Post by: jakemower94 on December 01, 2015, 12:31:49 pm
Just got off the phone to Volkswagen who advise me that one of the previous owners of my Edition 30 had the build number plaque sent out to them, however, it's not with the car!! They're sending me a letter confirming what build number it is though. Any recommendations on the best place to get a replica made? I know there's a company on eBay who do it for cheap but I'm wondering how close to the original it will be... Anyone else got any experience on this?

I am in the same boat but reading reviews of the cheap ebay ones apparently they are quite good quality

Ah, that's good to know; I couldn't seem to find any relevant reviews. Might be worth a punt for £14 odd....

Just had a letter from volkswagen confirming that she's number 1438. Think I'm just going to take a punt and order one of the eBay ones, I'll let you all know how it looks!

For anyone that's still interested, here it is fitted... The quality isn't fantastic to be fair but it more than does its job for 13 quid!
