Best number plate / plate holder style

[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.

hey dave, a guy is selling these vic Golf R plates, i reckon they look good but not for 2k.

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.

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.

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

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.

My dealer still...will not confirm mounting rego plates with two way tape....!

[Corey_R]

Ask them how they "mount" their dealer plates That'll put them in a pickle.

If someone has the foresight to purchase a plate of an upcoming model then good on them for trying. There will most likely be some enthusiast that will want it. After a while if there are no bites it may come down to cost price. Why cut up rough about it because you were too slow to think of it yourself?

I still like the euro plates that I saw, V WR 020. Just a pity for the owner that VW decided to drop numbers on the R model.

Try and find an RS3 combo and reserve something now I have already checked already and V RS 003 is already taken in Victoria.

well Corey, I think those dealer plates arent illegal?
I also asked about sun blinds and a price fitted, she had no idea what the hell i was asking till i gave her part numbers... She quoted me $360 for the two rear doors and $360 for the rear hatch (and stated they have never fitted any on golfs, as privacy glass was standard on most golfs sold)

Agreed. 2 grand IS ridiculous and unfair I dont give a flying fart whether the guy is a member or whether he is a centrelink scummer. I hate plate poaching. Its perfectly legal, but (and especially a forum member) taking a plate combo to sell to his fellow enthusiasts for a $1200 profit. I couldn't care less what he thinks of my opinion of him.

Thats right Corey.
