Best number plate / plate holder style

[dave_r]

Photos would be great, thanks guys.

You'll need to drill your own holes for the rear bracket as the Golf doesn't have any by default. However, the advantage of the Lakin Bracket at the rear is that the holes are "central" so that if the next owner (or even yourself) changes to a different style of plate, the holes still won't be visible as they'll be covered by even an old fashion plate.

LOL that might be asking for trouble. I'll have to order some and get them to the dealer before delivery.

Spoke to Philip from Lakin who was quite helpful also. I'll grab the vic euro holders. get the dealer to fit them and attach the standard slimlines to the lakin brackets with double sided tape for now.

Only thing left to do is choose what euro plate combo I want and order it.... just can't think of anything other than my initials lol.

I just went for a combo of my initials and date of birth in the end dave, that way i can just keep the plates when i sell the car.

Hey Guys. I've taken photos of the Lakin Plates Kit and got them all ready to post. Since I've included the documents that are part of the packaging I just wanted to check with Philip that he's cool with me uploading them. I'll post them as soon as I've got the OK. There's 16 in total.

Nice work Corey, looking forward to seeing them.

emailed dealer today and asked if they can mount rego plates with two way tape, so i can bring the car home and properly mount my lakin plates and brackets, and she said no!....its against the law.

Show me the law....

I dont know Corey, but she insists that they can loose their license if they release a car without the number plates properly fixed and that vicroads sets the law not barloworld?

I was trying to avoid that for some reason, I've never been much into personalised plates. But the car looks silly without euro's.

Nice. I did a few emails with Philip today, super helpful. He strongly advised against having the dealer do anything involving screws and drilling holes hehe. After looking at a photo from the dealer of the front, it looks like they ran screws through the factory holder and probably into the front bar fitting the plates.

That's exactly right. Vicroads sets the law, not your dealership. So look it up at vicroads, don't take your dealer's word for it.
