Hey guys,
Will soon be the proud owner of a Tornado Red 07 plate Edition 30!!! :)
Wanted one for years and finally got myself one.
However it doesn't have the numbered plaques that were sent out to the buyers of the car.
Does anyone know if I can still get hold of them? Would like a couple
Cheers
Chris

Phone VW UK.
Providing a plaque has not been issued previously you will receive one.
Search the forum as there was a link for a Group Buy

Cheers mate
Do you know if I need reg and VIN?

Contact WV customer services on 0800 0833914. Give them all your details (telling them your after your "individually numbered Golf GT Edition 30 plaque") and if one has not been previously sent out to a former owner one will be sent to you for free. If one has been sent out before then you will not get one.
IIRC you will need to send them (via email) a copy of your Reg Document showing its your car and they go from there.
I delt with a chap called Matthew Young but lots of peeps have delt with a lass called Jenny (I think). Was a few years back though.
Hope that helps. Any probs, PM me and I'll give you the direct phone number for the chap I spoke to.

As he said ^^^^^ :happy2:
Once you get the plaque be sure to update your bulb number on the forum.

Thanks very much for the help lads :happy2:
Hope to start my progress thread soon too.

Hey guys been told that they sent the plaque to a previous owner (number: 0935) what does this mean? Will I have to pay for a new one?

Check to see if it's inside the drivers door. If not then you will have to pay for one :sad1:

I got mine sorted last week and Jenny told me if it had been claimed then were charging around £200 to produce you a new one.

£200! They certainly know how to look after customers.
-
The plaques were made in Bromley Kent maybe worth speaking to the original supplier ?
I can find the details if you need it :happy2:
-
Yeh mate at £200 I won't be buying one, might have to contact original supplier ha
-
Jenny told me it was to stop people buying them and selling them on to non edition 30 owners.

I contacted the plaque manufacturer a couple of years ago for the cost of a replacement plaque. I was quoted £44 +VAT at the time. the point of contact is Sean Davies sean@fxuk.net
Hope this helps

Jenny left me an answer phone message last night and mine hasn't been claimed yet :grin:
Need to send a copy of my log book to her now.

They were only sent out at random i.e if yours was the first built you didn't get plaque No1.
