Number Plates on the Mk7

[CT69]

I don't know about durability, but Command Strips double sided tape is great and easily removed (used for picture hanging).
Have used these short term in the past (whilst waiting to install Lakin bracket).

The self adhesive velcro we use is ~ 50mm wide, comes in a roll from Bunnings, we use three strips on each plate, so truckloads of grip. You have to pull the plates off slowly & carefully or you will mangle them. Holds well!

That's pretty wide, so yeah would be lots of grip, and it's probably weather-proof too, as long as the adhesive side is all-right. Sounds cool.

Double sided tape works for me, still on there after all these years.

Yeah I thought about these too, but unsure how they'd hold up in 40c heat / -10c cold / rain...

Hi,

Just a quick thanks to everyone for their suggestions -- job all done in less than 5 mins, too easy. The bumpers are plastic and were really easy to drill into. I just used stainless 10g x 15mm flat head screws with a 3mm pilot hole.

I'm curious to know why you use this method, as compared to using double sided tape, given the plate can surely be prized off by sliding to one side? Is it for maintenance reasons?

It's to transfer the plate to the Golf GTI MkVIII

Hi all,

Just looking finally at picking our number plates for the new R but after seeing some prestige ones on the euro size backing plate it looks a little funny.

The dealer has recommended in getting a euro on the front and a slimline for the rear.

Whats everyones thoughts?

[Roadkill]

Personally I prefer the full-size euros on both sides, with striped covers. Don't know if it would be different on the new Golfs though

[Eaglehawk]

Are you able to mix and match like that? We can't do that in the ACT. (Non-euro at one end)

[jonoz]

Yep so in QLD we can do;

Euro 3x3 Motor Vehicle (520mm x 112mm)
Euro 3x3 Motor Vehicle (520mm x 112mm)

Euro 3x3 Motor Vehicle Slimline (372mm x 100mm)
