has a few links

I kept waiting ... and waiting - then called customer services who said I had to request a number !!
It was sent through - number 2069 .... about 2 days before I sold the car having had it for 18 months .... poor service on VW's part.
They don't like to talk about their 'limited' run of 1500 cars :grin:
TBH the number didn't interest me (after all, if they had stuck to 1500 I wouldn't have had the car!) The whole situation is somewhat amusing though .... in a strange kind of way ....
-
Thanks for that guys - the FAQ makes an interesting read.
Mines is probably up in the 2000's as its on an 08 plate!!

I know for a fact all of the remaining plaques are sat in a box under someones desk in Milton Keynes! :surprised:
I have asked my 'contact' to look into whats going on with the remaining plaques as the whole situation is frankly embarrassing! :sad1:
-
I don't even have the Eddy anymore and recieved a letter a couple of months back, I still want it to pass onto the new owner so the car can be recognised.

I rang vw customer services, gave my details and the cars, it arrived 2 weeks later :jumpmove:

Holy thread revival!! :laugh:
Anywho, here you go......
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).
Hope that helps. Any probs, PM me and I'll give you the direct phone number for the chap I spoke to (if I can dig it out).
:happy2:

nice one mc71, I'll wait to recieve my log book through the post then contact them :happy2:
cheers

Omg!! Is there no other way of finding out and getTin it sorted ????

If you call them and ask them build number then go on eBay and order your own plaque £15 done dusted

Has anyone ordered from these and if so what is the quality like as my badge has already been issued and most places were charging £100 for a badge so this seems quite cheap especially if you can bespoke it which would be nice

Cheers for the pics and looks good.
I just need to order one and then figure out where I want to stick it. I presume it comes with an adhesive backing?

What did you use to stick it down it then?

Went to halfords got some 1mm number plate sticky cut it into shape and all good :happy2: stickies were like £2-3 nothing expensive
-
Doesn't look bad. Will definitely get one of them if my plaque has already been dished out.

I rang VW gave them reg they checked and rang me back within half hour advised they still had plaque. I had to email proof of ownership (log book) they sent me plaque in post within 7 days sorted it's not as hard as everyone makes out go original if available aftermarket look cheap

I can guarantee that if i had both plaques next to each other and haven't told you. You wouldn't be able to tell difference but at same time VW only had 1 and if it already got issued then kind of no option :signLOL:
-
Yeah I ordered one of these from the above link 2 days ago and its been posted already.
Had no choice as mine has already been sent out for my car but previous owner didn't put it in car or with the paperwork for some reason. Looks no diff from an official one.... At least not £85 worth of diff
