Best number plate / plate holder style

[DoggiesUtd]

i have just ordered new slim line plates white letters on black........for my13 147tsi jetta.......
i dont get the car for a few more weeks yet...but i want to get rid of the ugly number plate mould...
i got the jetta in white and dont think it will suit it.......is it too hard to get off?
or should i just leave as is?

on my R ( looks same on Passat with the two pins vertically oriented rather than at an angle like the gti, dunno about Jetta) just gave it a good, hard wrench and it came out. some drill out the pins, whatever. get it out asap though, as the plastic will rub on the bumper leaving marks. The Larkin holder looks way better than the giant plastic thing, look at LucasR photos for what the black holder looks like on a light coloured ( United Grey) car, looks fine, better than the big Matt plastic thing!

A couple of plastic plugs + 1 Can of Tornado red + 1 can of clear coat = a better looking front end

I've just spent the last few hours reading all 68 pages to this thread. There is so much useful info re what to do with that awful piece of plastic that will be on my new Passat Alltrack due in early July.

It's obvious I'll need to drive the 3 hours up the road & shake the hand of Phil from Lakin Plates. I'm going to propose how to not only utilise my current standard euro plates, but also bolt a couple of lightweight HID Lightforce spotlights...

Many thanks to all you owners & gurus of all the hot looking Golf's throughout this thread..
