Hey all, I contacted Dubmeister today and the guy said he would do a group buy for these plates.
I need at least 15 people to do this and you'll get the plates for £20 instead of £30, also if you want the surround like what I've got, they will be £16 for the pair instead of £20. Now because these plates are legal, they do require that you send them your V5 (as you'd need to to get any new plate done legally) so he said postage would be £6.90 for 1st class recorded delivery. Which is what you'd have to pay anyway if you spent the £30.

In regards to getting them, once the group buy is full, I'll be sending off the list to him of people and their email address's, then you would order directly from the store online or ringing up, and stating you are part of the group buy with GolfGTI.co.uk, then you'll get the discounted rate.
If you're interested then put your name down here, tell me if you want just the plates or the surrounds as well.
Regards
Kirk
UPDATED INSTRUCTIONS!!!
Here's what you've all been waiting for lol!
"Hi Kirk,
Yes the price is still the same £20.00 plus £6.90 to have your plates and documents sent back to you via courier.
I didnt recieve the list of names, if you could send that agin please.
There are a few ways you guys can order:
*Online
*Over the phone
*Via e-mail
Whatever way you order if you just include in the notes that you are part of the GTI order you will recieve the discount, as long as they are on the list you give.
If you get every one to send their docs within a few days of each other it will make things easier. The plates are sent within 48 hours of the docs being recieved. If you are sending so that they will arrive this Sat please be aware there will be a slight delay due to the show.
Any further questions please contact me.
Many thanks"
I would suggest you all in ring tbh, it's easier and quicker, and if you can all do it by the latest of Wednesday and get your docs sent out no later than Thursday. That was they will get them no later than Friday and you'll all have your plates by Tuesday I imagine.
Phone number:
01278 444525
Send docs to:
1 Stockmoor Park
Taunton Road
Bridgwater
Somerset
TA6 6LD
United Kingdom
-
Count me in.. :wink:
-
Hope this doesnt fill up too quickly, need to sell my Mk2 and then buy my private plate :lipsrsealed: :grin:
-
I'm in! :)
Pair of plates and two surrounds please!
Is it just the v5 you have to post? I guess photocopies not suitable?
-
I'd be up for 2 plates and 2 surrounds too
-
Rhyso - front and back plate :smiley:
-
Good turnout already :) spread it to other users on here as well guys :)
For the V5 yes it has to be the original, however I think they need to see you license as well, but a photocopy of that would be sufficient I imagine, I'll check for you guys :)
-
I'm in for a front and rear plate
-
Front and rear plate for me to please fella
-
I'd be up for a pair plus surrounds.
-
I want some plates (but don't want to send my log book off........I can sign for peoples passports/visa's etc with no issues.....
but can I buy number plates for my own motor without royal mail no doubt fkin things up!! No!! :angry:)
-
yeah you may aswell go to a dealer and get them, with the postage your not saving much, and theirs no way id send them my V5 :shocked:
i dont want any anyhow so im ok
respect for doing this tho matey :wink:

There's no dealers that do pressed plates though? Also the whole sending V5 thing, I know what you mean but then that's why it's recorded delivery and what not. I don't think that's anything to worry about lol!
:)
-
I would not be happy with sending my V5 if I wanted any.
-
I will find out if you can send a photocopy as it's alarming a few people :)
-
Could i not just send my certificate of entiltement for my private plate?
-

didnt ypu say you got yours at a dealer and not via online tho?? other folk could just do the same and save on the hassle of sending docs off etc

Oh yeah, no I thought you meant dealer as in VW dealer lol! I got mine from TSR Performance in Bridgewater, however the group buy can't be done that way because the actual places don't gain any money from selling them.
Ultimately it's upto people if they want to save a bit of money or not I guess lol! However I will ring to check if a copy of the V5 is ok :)
-
would like to but dont fancy sending v5s
-
Front and Rear shady please.
V5 copy yea?
-
p
-
must admit, not overly keen on posting V5 :undecided:
but I don't live anywhere near a dealer, and I love the look of the pressed plates!
also, with this group buy I get the plates and surrounds for £36 instead of £50 - kudos to shady pioneer for arranging this :cool: :cool:
I'm in either way, though hopefully a photocopy will suffice :) If posting the original, I'm sure dubmeister are trustworthy and I'll be sure to post it recorded / insured :wink:
-
count me in
if this has not filled up yet
2plates and surrounds v5 no problem
-
Count me in for 2 plates as well please. front and back.
Always wondered if these were completely legal, though it all looks sound.
Cheers for doing this mate,
-
No problem guys, I'll be ringing him up today as didn't have chance yesterday. Will hopefully be ok for a Photocopy, however if it isn't that's why it's recorded delivery :)
-
2 plates and surrounds for me please. :smiley:
-
Just gave him a ring, copies won't do because people can forge them, change things in Photoshop etc. He said that's 100s of people have done it sending their docs via special delivery which is obviously insured and they send them back out the same way. If you don't send the docs required thy won't do it, which makes sense because you'd have to supply ID and V5 or similar to get them done at a dealer. :)
These are the requirements that are on their site:
Proof of entitlement codes
V5 - 11 digits in section D
V11 - Vehicle licence renewal
V379 - Vehicle registration
V750 - Certificate of entitlement
V778 - Cherished transfer
Official Hire/Lease document
Record of insurance claim
Proof of Identity
Driving Licence
Passport
Photo travel pass or ID card
Foreign ID photo ID card
However he did also say a utility bill like water, gas, electric, phone etc is ok too because they have reference numbers on there.
I know some people are gonna drop out now because of the ID side of things, admittedly I forgot to mention these but nonetheless it's all safe and secure. :)
-
The DVLA just send V5's as standard post :grin:
-
sweet ill send my v750 and d-lisence then :tongue:
-
Yo
count me in for front and back plates please dude :grin:
-
Sounds like they need alot of info. I may just go to gsf in leeds to get mine to be sure they get it and that i get them back. I'll still be in on the group buy tho wont i?
-

I read that as they need one of those items in each category, i.e. your V5 and Drivers License.
-
This is going to sound random - but do you think I could get on the groupbuy but go get them done at Carnessour in Cambridge for the group buy price? They're a registered Dubmeister maker..
Come to think of it this sounds a silly idea :sad:
-
p
-
Front and rear please :smiley:
-
shady you smooth talker, I am back in the game.
I don't really want to send any docs through the post but I really really don't like the nasty plates the dealer put on my car either! :nerd:
Smooth Talker haha!
I understand why some of you are a bit ehhh about sending docs off, but it's all insured, all looked after etc. However you can't get them done at a Dubmeister branch as he said they make no money from selling them at full price, only through the phone or net do they make a profit hence discounted price.
BTW please don't moan at me for this, I'm not making up the rules lol!
-
Shady - how about seeing if Dubmeister will open next Saturday - looking at a map they are only 10 minutes away from Gordano
if those interested are attending the meet we could pop along to them with our documents in person :smiley: you won't get the plates there and then but at least you will have provided your documents
just an idea :smiley:
-
Would thtey do fake plates? I just want some for my room and possibly off road on my car, I don't want to leave my plates on the Golf as people are nicking them.
IT's SORN anyway.
-
if theres still space on this group buy... count me in for a pair plus surrounds please.
G
-
I'm out, i'm not sending my V5 to any company. all it takes is for the wrong person to pick it up, especially if they have the rest of your details!
-
I've compiled a list of people I think have confirmed to this group buy, if wrong please correct me :)
1. shepgti
2. mushy (w/ surrounds)
3. xAx (w/ surrounds)
4. Rhyso
5. mattyass
6. DakoYam (w/surrounds)
7. 8v8v
8. boxer1968 (w/ surrounds)
9. the dude
10. JamieGTi (w/ surrounds)
11. phatsam2003
12. w0ffle
13. Steve_PD
14 people, ideally I'd like to send off with 20 people on the list, the thing with the surrounds is I'm not sure if it's needs to be a minimum 15 people. If I can get 20 people for the plates, I'd imagine he'd let me allow the few who want surrounds have them at the discounted rate if I hold up more on the plates...if that makes sense? LOL!
Rhyso - That won't work I'm afraid as the stores that sell some of Dubmeister's stuff don't make money from what they sell, so can't make and discounts. :(
-
But if those stores saw your Docs then let the main branch know that they are fine?
-

The main branch is gonna be TSR Performance in Bridgewater I think, Dubmeister are in process of moving, but I don't think that'll fly bud, you don't have to send a V5, you can send another doc instead along with a form of ID.
-
Hey Shady - Respect for doing this, but I'm going to get them from carnessoiur in cambridge at full price as it's only slightly more when considering postage :smiley:
-
Hey Shady
thanks for setting up this group buy, much appreciated. But ive decided I'll get them directly from carnessoiur in cambridge as well since they're close by and I dont need to worry about sending docs. Sorry to pull out and mess you around.
respect
G
-
I'll take a pair of plates...
So will a mobile phone contract bill work as ID? Feel a little happier sending that rather than my driving license.
You keeping us informed about details such as when and who we need to pay and where to send details etc?
Cheers for organising this...is a great deal!
-
I'd imagine a mobile phone bill should be ok, as there should be a reference number on there which is used to basically confirm someone's identity. I'll double check when this group buy is full for ya, and I'll tell you all what you need to do when it's full.
As far as I'm aware I'll be sending off this list to the guy at Dubmeister, along with your email address's so he can confirm who's paying and check them off the list as you buy them from the site, resulting in a discounted rate, I think he said something about adding to the 'notes' section on the site who you are (GolfGTI.co.uk forum member) but as I said, I'll confirm this at the end :)
No problem with organizing this either, I was well chuffed with the plates, and only want the rest of fellow dubbers to enjoy them too, especially seeing as you'll get caught out sooner or later with German ones, or using your plain acrylic ones as standard lol!
-
cool :) cheers again shady for arranging this, let us know when it's time to order

-
Cmon people, pressed plates are the future!
-
Hey Shady. . you got enough peeps yet?
just wondered when you think you'll be getting them done as was gonna order some today until i saw this thread.
:smiley:
-
When I get 20 people I'll get it sorted, that's the ideal amount, if I can't get 20 I'll see what I can do :)
-
You can count me in for a pair of plates if still available
Thank you :smiley:
-
Can i just say that i bought a pair of these plates about 2 months ago and they are they best plates around - NO QUESTION!!!! They look awesome and i wouldnt change them for the world :smiley: No probs from the Police either, all fully legal so all good
-
As i live in Bonnie Scotland I am not governed by this crazy law so can i dispense with my v5 / license shenanigins and just place an order for front back?
-
OMG!! How annoying is this?!!? I literally bought a set yesterday for full whack :angry:
-
As i live in Bonnie Scotland I am not governed by this crazy law so can i dispense with my v5 / license shenanigins and just place an order for front back?
I'm not sure man, I wouldn't know how that works, what process do you have to go through normally to get plates?
-
do these plates come with the GB on the left hand side, is that an option when ordering??? i would like a pair (front and back) :cool:
-
It is an option yes :)
-
do these plates come with the GB on the left hand side, is that an option when ordering??? i would like a pair (front and back) :cool:
I'm undecided! gb or no gb?! look good with and without! :)
thanks again shady for sorting this, looking forward to treating the car to some new plates :)

It's cool man, well I prefer it without the GB as I have a green car, the blue doesn't go well with it. However if you got a white, blue or black car, it'll go nicely :)
-
cheers, I think you've helped me decide as I am also in the dragon green club :)

Please confirm for me if this is correct or not. BTW, I'm going to be honest with you guys and tell you that the surrounds are wank, I've only got the front one atm and you can't get the plates out once they are on, which you're meant to be able to do. Also the left hand side clip snapped as well, very delicate so I've opted to not have the rear one they were going to send me and found these on eBay, slightly different design but I think it's pretty good too be honest:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150324551097&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:UK:11#ht_1974wt_909
Just putting it out there for you guys, as the ones from Dubmeister are pretty crap, these look like the fronts clip off without any problems, I have ordered some myself so if you wanna wait until I get them in the next day or two before you buy then by all means please do :)
-
cheers for the heads up - just put me down for plates, surrounds now obtained elsewhere ;)
-
Shady P. Im sorry to do this with the finish line so close but ive gotta opt out. The persuit for coilovers has bitten and i need every penny to put towards those.
Sorry guys
Cheers again shady

Still want the plates, but not the surrounds.

Hmm, well, yeah :)
-
How do we go about doing this then Shady?
-
Dako - Well fair enough :) I should be having them today, waiting for the postman :P
Alex - You have to wait until I confirm with Dubmeister the exact process but it'll be bought through their site, and you'll give them a couple of additional details (email address, the fact you're from this forum and what your username is, something like that) and then the discount should be added when he sends you an invoice.
-
Excellent, cheers mate. Look forward to it :laugh:
-
yeh i definately want a set would look good on my car :cool: :cool:
-
Yeh plates for me no surrounds, Up here as far as i know we just walkin with the plate number thats what i did in halfords.
-
I don't think it'll be the same with this, you could always give them a quick call to ask?
-
Some pics of them on, with the cheap surrounds I bought from eBay instead of the slightly discounted ones from Dubmesiter lol!

The surrounds from eBay are nice, haven't removed the clip from the bottom since having it on, but the only thing I can say is you have to slighty bend the plates to get them in, but at least they are a tight fit :)
-
looks good, I think I will go for just the plates too then
-
same here just go for the plates .surrounds look smart ebay for me :wink:
-
I got some pressed plates direct from Dubmeister and were delivered today back with my documents! :cool:
They look awesome! will get some pics up soon.
-
Alright lads! Just got off the phone, confirmed it's ok to go ahead with the 17 people for this and total cost will end up being £26.90, £20 for plates, £6.90 for recorded delivery of your plates and docs being sent back.
Now here's the process. I need EVERYONE who said they wanted plates to confirm to me before anyone does anything further :)
I then need to email Dubmeister with user name, real name and registration number of your car (PM for privacy) and then you guys need to send off your V5 and driving license, or whatever combination you're doing from the list I posted earlier to them.
At this point, you can either email them with card details a day or two after sending off docs recorded delivery) or ring them which will be easier and safer no doubt.
Hope this all makes sense but at least it's a go now :)

Sent email mate, sorry hadn't seen the reply.

Sorry for late reply, p.m'd :wink:
-
Drew - Yeah man get 1 or 2 pics for me and I'll sort something out, I'm meant to do one for Toro atm as well lol! Just haven't got round to doing it, may do it now...
The plates are nice aren't they :) and the surrounds, just a pain getting the plates in and out but at least they are secure. Also the design isn't the same as what everyone else has got, like the Autohaus Tuning marlarcy. Bet everyone will have these new ones soon lol!
AlexB & JamieGTI - No problem guys, thanks for the PMs :)
P.S. - List slightly updated.
-
5 more people required I take it?
Has anyone posted this on any other forums?
Might get a few more members on here aswell..
e.g
- uk-mkivs
- edition 38
- demon vw
- lowdown vw
-
i posted a link on ukmkivs but they seemed more interested in running their own group buy rather than join an exisiting one :rolleyes:
-
If others want in they should join upto this site post in this thread and PM me :) this group buy is for GolfGTI.co.uk users :)
Jamie - Was just thinking, I know your mate owns a Seat but just get him to sign up on here, it'll make life alot easier for me :)
Rhyso - It's just jealousy because this forum pushes forward on things like this and leaves others in the wind ;)

Yeah the username jobby was:
1. For me to keep track of who is who
2. Just to further prove you were part of the group buy and not a outsider off the forum trying save a few quid lol!

nice work Shady :afro:
shame on you both for not buying golgti plate holders though :tongue:
I'm already sporting the stickers lol! Plus I didn't want to stick on or screw the plates in ;)
Not good enough :tongue:
Velcro FTW :tongue: :grin: :grin:
I'll be coming to steal your plates then :P
Thats why my front ones inside the car officer (http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l96/Dec_012/ph34r.gif)
-
phoned and placed order :)
had a dilema and ordered them with the GB badge, have I done the right thing? :)
just a thought - do I post the details to the address on their website - ie:
Unit 1 West End Trading Estate
Blackfriars Road
Nailsea
Bristol
BS48 4DJ
Just an afterthought as the phone number on the website was wrong - just a recorded message with their new number, and I remember shady saying they were moving premises...
did try and call back to check, but the line is always engaged...
:)

yep, gonna have to get some hella quads and smoked front lenses at some point too! :rolleyes:
-
It's always engaged because people are trying to get their orders through lol!
Yeah they did move premises so that's a good point, stink dont send your shizzle to the site address. LOL! I just rang, send docs to:
1 Stockmoor Park
Taunton Road
Bridgwater
Somerset
TA6 6LD
United Kingdom
If you do send it to the old address, there's still someone there but will delay your order so they can send docs to the main premises :)
P.S. I personally didn't go for the badge, but that's because I have a green car, if you got a white, silver, blue or black car, think it'll look fine :)
-
Okay, got through - their website has two different addresses depending on which page you look at! :rolleyes:
correct phone number is:-
01278 444525
and address for documents:-
1 Stockmoor Park
Taunton Road
Bridgwater
Somerset
TA6 6LD
sorted :) cheers again shady :)
-
I put the telephone number in my first post, everyone refer to first post for details :)
-
yeah the girl gave me the new address on the phone, didnt go for the GB surround :smiley:

Finally got them through today, and geuss what .. theyr're wrong.
Rang dubmeister and apparently it was my fault for not listening to the idiot on the other side of the phone, they did not recall the number plate back to me, yet the woman insists he did. Not good at all, am fuming!
-
but isnt that the whole point of sending them your V5? as its got the reg on there
sorry to hear that mate :tongue:
-
I tried explaining that, surely they would cross referance it, but no apparently they go in seperate piles :angry:
-
Sorry about that man. It's defo a problem on their side as I made sure they had a list with reg numbers and people's names on too.

Sounds like a right cock up if they have your V5, you would think they would cross reference them.
-
i cant decide if i like these, i deffo dont like the plastic surround thing some people have on maybe thats whats making me not like them so much, would be good to see someone be different and not have the surrounds on

Not the best photo, but pressed plates (german font) with no surround.

-
really hate the german font but its deffo a improvement without those big silly plastic things round them

I stuck them straight on, I did get surrounds in the end but always thought it looked cleaner without.
Only plus point to having surrounds is that you can change plates easier, so if you have some fancy show plates it is very quick and easy to put them in.
-
ahh right i get ya, still dont like them and not sure id like that, easy for people to rob your plates...
-

Got to be honest and say I never thought of that, very good point.

If people are gonna steal your plates, they will get them one way or another lol!

As a tip, I use trim tape and when you try to remove the plate it tends to snap in half or if a metal one bends out of shape.
-
plate theft is massive, no way do you wanna make it easy for them, in fairness its prob not as big of an issue on older cars as it is newer ones but id still not like the idea of them been easily removable
-
good point, i can see that happenign with maybe private paltes but who in there right mind would want to nick soemones normal number plate, well apart dick heads

people that clone cars buddy, its massive you need to look into it
my mate had his done and got parking fines and speeding fines, and my other mate actually cloned a car... its the easiest way of making a ringer!!!
all you have to do is get a car the same and the same colour and bingo
normal plates, private plates whatever

my plates arrived today and they look :cool: just need to wait for my plate holders to arrive, one slight problem is that they seem to have changed my name as it was adressed to "mike" i have never been or will never be called "mike" not like thay can say they made a mistake as they had two documents with my name on :laugh: :rolleyes:
-
Muy bien! Finally solved plates are in the post :rolleyes:
-
And they turned up today, lookin good! With surrounds as well, nice people :rolleyes:
-
our sets arrived the other day. they are very nice and look better then my cracked ones!!!! took ages to come though but atleast they only charged me one postage fee for both sets. stuck them on with sum number plate sticky pads, not putting holes in these!!!!! no point having nice plates with dirty great screws in!!!
-

Can anyone post up a close up picture that shows the small text at the foot of the plate? I realise for legal reasons the place of manufacture has to be on the plate, but not too keen on anything too big as I would like "clean" looking plates.

Check my first post in this thread :grin:

you can't see that font from a distance and again it is a legal requirement..............
yep - just use some strong velcro :smiley: or they just clip in - depends on the type of plate holders you got
-
jeynesey, that Dubmesiter logo will be VERY small in the bottom right if you order them from TSR because they put TSR Performance in the middle bottom instead, looks a lot cleaner.
And you sound like a blooming old lady lol! Moan moan moan :P
