thinking about getting one and smoothing it, I'd have to get a private plate and shorten it, but i think it'd look cool...

It would be better if the recess wasn't as high though IMO, that width is good, mine looks lost because its about 60mm shorter than a standard plate.

wouldnt you just get a square bike plate, that would fit the recess fine?

scott

a bike plate would look s**t

get a US plate, sure one would come in that size and look trick

Only thing is, he wouldn't get pulled for a square bike style plate, he would for an american one.

wouldnt look chav thoguh like most bike paltes do

But you have to weigh it up, £30 fine and told to change it, or stick a bike plate on to start off with?

Or just put a smaller plate on.

Whats the point to be fair, just smooth the original one alot cheaper!!

If your not into your vw's no ones going to go cor look at that jap spec bumper, must do that to my car!!

Sorry to be blunt!!

he may have a point tbh, even people in2 their vdubs may not notice it, i don't think i would.

I found that with my front bumper, people that don't know about the MK5 wouldn't know it's been smoothed, as far as they know, it's standard. Suppose it's just personal taste.

they must be thick! yourr car is MINT!!!! wanna swap?

Nah you're alright mate, I'll keep it

Your car ain't too bad either mate, it's coming along nicely.
