Best number plate / plate holder style

[Corey_R]

Yeah - with the CSG colour, the plugs look alright. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the Golf R in Rising Blue Metallic though.....
Maybe I'll just get the original blue/white euro and leave the plate holder there.

Could you perhaps make the visible screw holes from the OEM plate holder bigger and put the parking sensors in the hole, but with out all the parking sensor setup? At least it would be the same color - maybe expensive though. Anyone done this?

A body shop around town told me they have done a clear number plate holder to replace the black euro one, could be something else to consider.

Will be getting full sized white VIC euro plates for our black GTI. Black on black would be an interesting look, but I think the white is more classic.

I'm planning to get a black euro plate on my black GTI too. I'm interested to see how it looks like. If anybody can paste some sample images here I'll be appreciated.

Guys I had my dealer switch my white euro to black euro at the last minute.

Honestly, even with the black surround, it doesnt look half bad.

I am yet to check if the plastic surround has damaged the paint (so I can remove it and plug the holes), but it wont bother me if I cant.

Not sure if this has been posted before, but NSW RTA is currently running a promotion to re-style your plates for a one-off fee from $150 (ends 31 May). Restrictions do apply, and details are at their website:

My plates are onto their third style (black on yellow, bicentennial, premium black on white) but I think I'll stick with what I've got. Not sure I like the standard euro style enough to change over. I have some nice number plate covers which came with my Mk5 that negate some of the issues of having the smaller plate - but as they advertise a different dealer to where I'm getting my Mk6, not sure they'll be happy to change them over.

Anyone got euro plate covers (those perspex ones with the black lines)?
Also do most people drill two holes in the middle of the plates? i currently have the stock plates mounted without drilling any holes, just tape that goes with the plate covers.

In Europe the holes are in the middle of the plates. But the RTA in NSW stopped putting holes in the plates because they were sick of owners buying them and wanting to put them on Japanese or Korean cars. So really, you can put the holes wherever the hell you want now... just as long as it matches up with the holes on your car (and if you have no holes on your car, then back to the wherever you want thing!).
