Title: Pic request - wolfsburg number plate surround on front
Post by: fonzie2107 on August 03, 2013, 07:21:23 pm

Will be getting one of the Wolfsburg number plate surrounds for the rear plate soon and would like one for the front aswell.

What is the fit like with the curvature of the bumper?

Also would like to see some pictures of these fitted (or similar ones).

I've had a good look for information but can't seem to find much.

Thanks

IIRC SaintSteve on here as one on his front. Ask him for a pic. I have one on the rear, looks good IMO.  :happy2

On my rear...

I had one on the front of mine, but when i got the car i had no plate plynth so was screwed directly on.

And i wasnt keen on it, so i have smoothed the front and just stuck a plate on, although will be using magnets to hold it on when i get chance to fit them :)

Think with the plynth it will be better!

Thanks.

What's the fit like on the front without the original plate holder? Does it sit flush with the bumper and clip together ok?

It fitted okay, wasn't the best without the holder tho, and yeah mine clipped okay.

But personally I wasn't a massive fan, although not sure if that's because I preferred my cut down plate instead.

I didn't like it on the front of mine, looked too chunky so I just have one on the rear

Don't think I have a picture but I've just got the surround on like saint Steve has  :happy2:

Stuck out way too much on top of the plinth and had no problems with the curve attaching it and plate to the car
