Best number plate / plate holder style

[Glennb]

Just saw the link to VicRoads (almost) fully customised Euro Premium plates (Vplates.com.au - Custom Plates by VicRoads | - Vplates Home ).
Format still starts with V, but then a combination of Letters (up to 5) and numbers (2 max at the end).
Most plates with GOLF are already taken, but could get V-RRRR or V-RRR1 for the mere price of $895!
Otherwise the standard Euro's with some custom initials or something for $695.

Yeah nice and cheap hey? I'm not sure about the GOLFxx ones, there is a car at work with GOLFED on a normal TSI. I think of old people getting up at 7am on a sunday to go play golf hehe.

Oh man. I wish we only had to pay that in NSW. $895 is sooooo cheap

[dave_r]

You know things are bad when we think $895 is cheap for 2 bits of metal with some letters that have zero functionality on a car

[Corey_R]

Yah... imaging having to pay $400 per year for those useless pieces of metal!

[dave_r]

The tightarse in me would never allow it LOL. Thats performance money going to waste

The golf r is a sleeper... Wolf in sheep's clothing... Why make it scream? I will only ever go for the bog standard random black on white plates... I would rather have a cool company vinyl on the back window or c pillar than a custom number plate... A full colour fitted vinyl for back window is ~$400... a small c pillar vinyl either side, ~$200... I know where I would rather spend my money... Not for everyone obviously... But for small business, represents much better value... I was going to get "ratedr" plates, but in NSW, far too steep...

Dermot is going to use double sided tape to stick on my plates for me, what is the best product to use seeing i still want them to be easily removed without damaging the paintwork and plates themselves?

You need to use 3M automotive stuff, its clear and can be removed with heat.

[Corey_R]

Agreed. 3M has a double sized tape for EVERYTHING.
Also, you don't need to go over the top. If you're intending to remove it shortly afterwards to install a proper plate bracket etc, then just use a square of it on each corner (as in, a length equal to the width of the tape).

Yeah i won't need anything too extreme, the plates only need to stay on for the 20 min drive home then i will take them off.

I looked up that combo and it was rejected. Now I see why. Some loser who probably couldnt afford a Barina spark has gone and ambushed that plate to sell for 2 grand well I for one would say to all here do not buy it off him. He can keep it for being dodgy. I know this stuff happens everytime a new model comes out these nPlate combo resellers go nuts but it doesn't mean I have to approve. Thats not fair. Like ticket scaplers.

[Corey_R]

That "loser" is one of our forum members, and as per the plate's for sale thread which Prodigy linked to in what you quoted, he already owns an R32 and was to purchase a Golf R, but his financial situation has changed....

Don't like any of the Golfxx style plates, but yeh he's on crack.

Good to know, mine will probably stay on like that for months if not until some prick tries to steal them hehe

Yeah I agree, but in this case there is a story behind it. Still doesn't justify an attempted fleecing of more than double the price.
