What is the best style of number plate for the Tiguan ?

Rline Storm Trooper

I’m guessing white R-Line then?

There were some black stormtroopers (management).

We have a white R-Line and went with the black background Euro plate. Large front and rear. They look great.

Wife has car until lunchtime but I’ll post a pic when she gets home.

Here’s the original small euro plate.



Replaced at the dealers expense with what we asked for. Full sized.



And the rear.

Looks great IsDon.
I’ve seen plenty where the standard rear plate has about 3cm of what looks like black foam pad stuck to the boot extending either side of the plate (the size of a euro plate). I assume anti vibration tape or similar. Presumably some dealers clean this off while others leave it sticking out. It looks pretty shabby.

The black foam is still under the rear plate. You won’t have to remove it with the euro plate as it’s designed to fit under it.

Looks Schmick

Wonder if Black letters on white background blends in more ...

Cheers mate

i had black foam sticking out under my black euro plate.

at first it appeared the dealer installed the plate too high however i realised it had to be slightly higher due to the alignment of the plate factory plate holes. if the dealer fitted it to the holes they would have had to drill into the lettering rather than the empty black space

was easy enough to trim the foam away.

I have the slim euro front and personally prefer it. I will be keen to remove the VW plate holder and purchase the bumper plugs though

It's pleasantly surprising this is "a thing" for others. I was having these discussions with my wife prior to delivery and she would just shake her head wondering why I cared haha

Agreed; the 'cheat' method of some screw caps and a bit of spray paint is cheaper - see tigger73's Roc for a good example.

didnt realise those were just stickers! now to find some body coloured spray paint

I've read one too many stories of people forking out for 'plugs' only to have them not fit correctly.

Even a Super Cheap that offers spray paint will do up a can for $20 or so from memory.

I have the same dilemma with my car coming soon. I’m getting a black Wolfsburg so it’s all blacked out. Two options:

1. I like the white on black plates but the front plate is very small so the plate base will show (although it’s a black colour so should blend with the car)



2. Otherwise for a bigger sized plate I have to get the euro style



Thoughts?
