UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

My new UK pressed plates arrived last week, I've been itching to get them on since having to put on those horrible VW plates I bought two years ago. I now prefer the plate on the bumper much better now, although ideally no plate would be the best. Anyway some pics...

Random Macro shot:



Old and new plates:



No front plate



New plate on:



Time for a drive:







Cairn O Mount road - just couldn't resist:













Ouch:







And I had a little bit of an accident, pretty pissed off to say the least:





Boulder + lowered car don't mix. Totally didn't see it when parking up to get a photo then all I heard was an almighty grinding noise...ahh well, back to the bodyshop!

Mouse the back bumper needs to get done so badly, it just stands out so much!

Apart from that those plates look awesome.

nice pictures mate, i take it youre from scotland (lovely up there)

i got some plates too, but with the uk badge on ... they make the car look so much newer

Yeah the rear bumper is irritating me, the car looks so unfinished. If it weren't for that stupid van last year (and maybe todays accident too) I would of had it done ages ago

Great looking 'plates. Where did you buy from?

Cheers

nice pics

looks like a great stretch of road as well

Plates from ebay

Great pics

I am buying a set myself but keeping old ones in boot with velcro just in case

Same style plates I'm riding currently

Looks great Mouse, the plate re-position suits the theme of the car alot more. I'm tempted to put mine back up there, but really don't want to be sticking anything on the smoothness!

You'd get used to it. I actually liked it a lot better

The plates look much better, just got to keep away from the police now or your likely to get a £30 fine.

Its a small price to pay for style though. lol

likely to get a £30 fine

Thats why lol

Dubmeister now do road legal pressed plates but you cant buy online

Nice shots, how come passenger door is darker?!

It's just the way the car looks in different lighting, it's definately the same colour up close

Thanks for the comments guys. Exterior wise I've still to get the badges sorted, maybe loose the GTI badge at the back. Rear bumper and side strips still to be smoothed. RX's will become winters as I'm looking to import a set of BBS RG-F's which will become my summer wheels. Stubby mirror too of course
