Do they suit the 5? with Inters less than a week away I might treat myself and get some (possibly with some mounts). Are they legal and easy to mount?.
-
They're legal as long as they follow the other rules.
Letter size and spacing, manufacturers post code at the bottom in the middle, BS number bottom right, no pictures unless it's the GB.
I mount mine with double sided tape as I don't have the smooth grill.
If you have a smooth grill you can mount it with magnets if you want to remove it or suction cups.
-
Plus they must be reflective to be legal.

Just bought a pay off eBay for my new private plate. Just shy of 20quid :smiley:

i've just fitted the smooth grill... what sort of magnets or suctions cups are you talking about? i'm thinking of getting a pressed plate and surround for the front
looking into it, i think the safest place to go is dubmeister. same price as the bay plus they are 100% legal with the correct spacing, retroflective material etc. some of the others on ebay which claim to be legal aren't always necessarily telling the truth :wink:

Have a search on here mate, I haven't done it.
Glue strong magnets to the back of the grill.
Suction cups I'm not to sure about but someone on here has it done. Can't remember his name, sure it's on a red edition 30

but they sound pretty hardcore and don't want to mess up anything electrical!

Just fitted mine yesterday, they look great and were a doddle to fit with the holders aswell :happy2:

eBay dude :)

Got a link or an item number. I can't seem to find the same ones, just the usual Wolfsburg ones.

Just search for VW golf Gti plate surround/holder and you should get a few different ones. I was the same and wanted something a bit different from the usual Wolfsburg etc. Mine are German manufactured but from a uk seller. Seller was "numberplatesurrounds"

Nice one, appreciate it.

A group buy on pressed plates would be nice

At 20 quid a pair they are not worth doing GB on

Dont get dubmeister plates. They are just metal plates with 3d lettering stuck on was what i received and looked cheap. I since got some proper pressed plates off ebay and they look the business. Uk legal although i ordered mine from a cyprus seller as he was more inclined to put in sum extra spaces where i wanted which uk seller wudnt lol

thanks for the heads up :happy2:... was reluctant to send them the docs they wanted too. even though it seemed official was just a bit dodgy imo.
got some from this listing on ebay, i only wanted the front one so £15 including delivery for that:
