Plates and plate holder

[Stos]

So I am a month away from receiving my Rocc and my only issue is not being able to decide what number plate style to put on it.
I have been leaning towards the Black Euro Classic style plate, but the front plate seems very small for the plate cover on the front of the rocc.
Looking forward to your feedback!

So although it's not specific to the Scirocco (but rather the Mk6 Golf), I suggest you have a read through this thread:

http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/forums/f112/best-number-plate-plate-holder-style-39781.html

Has loads of good info on plates and plate styles, as well as numberplate brackets.

I've got the NSW White Euro Style (non personalised) as that plate covers the massive backing plate on the Scirocco perfectly. I believe if the plate is personalised in NSW, it makes the front plate very small..
I think Andych had this issue. He'll need to confirm if you can get 2 personalised euro plates in the same (large) size.

Cheers Adam thanks for that, will definitely check the thread out. Hopefully there is some scirocco specific info on there.

Cheers, unfortunately the black Euro plates do not come with large front plates, only the white ones like yours do. You are lucky that in Victoria the black ones are the same size. Do you like the white euro plates on your car? Does it look too big on the front?

Oh my car is NSW registered.. As I'm only down in Victoria temporarily

This is my car on delivery day (with the dealer in the passenger side - taken with my phone).
As you can see, the plates fit perfectly.



I've since put a clear plate cover over it to tidy it up. New pictures will be up after I get my detail this Saturday
Personally, I wouldn't have any other size plate on the car.

Thanks for the pic, yeh it actually doesnt look too bad. Had my heart set on black plate cause my car is CW with black wheels. But the small number plate on the front with the big backing plate is a bit of a turn off. At least i still have a couple weeks to make up my mind. Looking forward to your new photos!

I had a custom Lakin plate bracket made up for my GTI, and many Golf owners have done the same to replace the stock fugly plastic adapter designed for full-sized Euro plates only.

Here's a link to some clear photos of the bracket made for my car:

And here's the product page for a replacement bracket for the 'Roc:

[Andych]

You can still get the full sized Euro personalised plates.. as long as you stay with the "N" series..
I will get a better shot of mine late and put it up... but basically it fills the front nicely just as she_dub's does... mine is white on CW so you will get a better idea.
Lakin covers are good... but they are expensive... I don't have any covers on them at present.. I need to find some clear ones.. I don't like the ones with lines through them...

Is the N series the Premium Euro Classic style?

Thanks Adam, that is definitely an option should i choose to go the Black Euro Style with the smaller front plate.

Hi Andy, yes that would be great if you can put some shots up showing the how the plate looks as i am also getting a CW. Thank you in advance!

[Andych]

Yes...but the White is the only one that is available as extra long...
If you want Black you get the smaller front plate.

Thanks mate!

[Andych]

Here you go.... crappy iPhone pic in poor light but it gives you a good idea on how it will look.

I tried to find some clear ones in Melbourne, they're on back order... had to get the ones with the lines through them

You can get clear covers for the full-sized Euro plate for $26 from Lakin Plates, and they post same day.
