Title: Tax disc holders
Post by: countrytrucker on 20 August 2009, 13:16

I am trying to find a decent looking tax disc holder but everything I find looks a bit cheap.

Any suggestions where I shoud try?

I would probably prefer black, white or silver

Thanks

I use the twist-off version - highly recommended http://www.speeding.co.uk/acatalog/Car_Accessories_Richbrook_Tax_Disc_Holders_67.html (http://www.speeding.co.uk/acatalog/Car_Accessories_Richbrook_Tax_Disc_Holders_67.html)

I use a plain black static-cling job from Halfords. Costs a quid and you hardly know its there.

 :grin: good point.

Do you honestly think they look crap ? If so, what one would you recommend, or would you just leave it with the standard one it comes with ?

leave it with the one it comes with.  otherwise you run the risk of chav-ing up your car with those cheap bits of plastic.

did i just agree with TT?!   :grin:

Didn't realise I was going to start WW3 with my suggestion. Anyway, the Richbrook twist-off tax holder I have is the one half-way down the page in my original link, not the day-glo ones further up. They're made from machined aluminium, and the Titanium version looks fine in my GTI. It's the only mod I have, and not at all "chavy". Sorry to disappoint...

i didn't look at those ones on the link dude, only the day-glo ones; i actually think the titanium looking ones are quite cool!

Just don't buy a tax disc and save the tax disc holder money for something else.... :grin:

My opinion also (if Kev is ok with this) - they are pure CHAV  :evil: LOL

Just for the record, I don't like the twist off thingys either, you get a nice free tax disc holder from your local stealer when you pick the car up, what's wrong with that one? It's free (sort of) and has VW on it, what more could you want?  :laugh:

I had a nice one with a no-smoking sign on the back once.

The one the RAC will give you with their phone number on it can come in handy now and again as well....

True - only downside is evertime you look in that corner you see the name of the stealer that screwed you by not giving a discount and will shaft you on the servicing  :grin:

It's a pity the black GTI ones have sold out. They're best if they dont draw attention to themselves.

Yeah, its all to do with the warp factor of the time flux, and weather the impact was perpendicular to the azymuth or the zenith . . .  :nerd:

Actually, I've just thought about the 'best' tax disc holders, and they are considerably cheaper than the chav-tastic richbrook ones. . . . .

Shortly, the old solders will be selling poppies - bung a fiver in the pot and get a nice Royal British Legion tax disc holder - plain, understated, and showing that you care about a 'genuine' cause.  They even have a top half to store fuel cards or whatever.  :cool:
