Best number plate / plate holder style

[driver19]

As for car care products just had my $360 worth of car cleaning stuff delivered...this car is already costing me a fortune and it's not even here yet!!

Ha I am not the only one!! I bought over $400 worth of detailing gear in preparation last week. I have even vacuumed the garage! Still waiting on the car.

I think the huge front plate holder looks especially bad on a candy white GTI as the black stands out a lot more. If it bothers me enough when I get it I guess I will look into getting it removed and having the holes covered over.

Cools. With that range of products and prices, did you get it from Car Care Products / Car Care, Car Wax, Car Polish, Car Covers, Detailing products & more ... ?

Yep, that's the place Corey.

Damn straight!

The VW OEM Holder is stupid, and quite frankly is the entire reason I've even discovered the Lakin Front Bracket!

Haven't really caught up with this thread, did you buy a holder for the rear as well? I think it looks best to have a matching set, how much all up for two?

The OEM VW holder looks fine euro plates, and my rear one is taped on the rear so looks fairly good and minimalistic.

LOL I thought that was all a joke until I went to the site! I usually just use meguires soft gel and a decent mit to wash the car. Though the last time I had to care was a good 5yrs+. Driving cars you don't own make you lazy and careless!

Yes, you can see my posts with detailed information and pictures a few pages back here and here

Thanks Corey will check it out.

ps. Wouldn't mind an OEM front holder from a MK6 GTI if anyone has one.

G-rig; Check out the Lakin wesbsite for prices ... I think I paid for brackets & covers $220 or there abouts but I am probably wrong!

Sounds about right. Depending on size of plates etc I got to about $250 I think. Add in $700 for the plates in VIC and we're nearly $1k! Hence I gave up on the idea for the time being.
