[Group buy] German plates from theplateman.com
« on: 02 October 2008, 17:14 »
 :evil:

I emailed the bloke yesterday on a group buy for GolfGTI.co.uk, he gave me these figures:

5 Pairs - £150 (£30 a pair including delivery)
10 Pairs - £250 (£25 a pair including delivery)
15 Pairs - £300 (£20 a pair including delivery)

This includes delivery to each person.

So if anyone is interested let's get some names down and see how many we can get. Obviously he sells them £29.99 for a pair and that's not including postage so the more people the better I guess.

How legal are these? Am I likely to get a ticket if I have them on?

If not id definately be interested  :smiley:

I wouldn't say it's worth it tbh, get them for less than that without the hassle :wink:

Ahh but they are made from really good material and better than paying half price for a half ass job on another set.

They aren't legal but most people seem to be running them and the fuzz don't seem to care too much.

yeah very pricey, you to be paying maximum of £15 delivered for a group buy for it to be worth it. Cause thats how much you can get them for on ebay. And they are very good, pressed metal plates with the band you want. ohh and the band isnt just a sticker, its actually built into the plate.

I got mine for £10 on ebay auction :afro:
