Title: Your plaque location......
Post by: Ifti on March 09, 2010, 08:45:46 pm
So now I have my plaque, Im not sure where I want to stick it! lol
Not sure if it should be hidden in between the door.....

So where did you put yours? I guess the most popular locations are just under the gearstick, or on the ashtray cover?

When I only had the one I put it where it was supposed to go inside the drivers door...........

My 'spare' is on the transmission tunnel just behind the gearstick!  :happy2:

I'd be up for getting another 1 or 2 via a GB if the price was right. I also have word that my plaque will be with me after Ifti's contact in VW CS helped me out today, top advice, cheers.

Hi mate. Not too bad here. Not liking the bloody petrol prices that keep going up though!
Thinking of buying a little smart car just to get me to work and back!

Pitch, how did you secure the plaque in position. Mine came today and want to fix it in the same position however it doesn't lie flat. I also don't want it fixed permantly there I want to move to to its proper location when I sell the car.

I had to bend mine slightly, its easy enough as they are quite flexible, you can use the sticky fixing supplied or use some double sided trim tape on the rear of the plaque, be warned though if you do use your own double sided tape it might not stick to well to the backing on the proper tape

if it was me i would use the proper backing tape then when you move it just put some new trim tape on the back

Rob...as 183 says, you just need to bend very slightly and use 2mm double sided tape, the number plate stuff from Halfrauds
