Illustrating size and look of plaque
(http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk284/Greenouse/plaque1.jpg)
Location of where plaque is to be positioned - base of A pillar on door trim
(http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk284/Greenouse/plaque2-1.jpg)
The plaques are now waiting for sign off by Managing Director of Volkswagen Group, which will hopefully be next week. They will then be distributed directly to owners.
That's all I know for now guys but will update as and when I know more!
Cheers,
Nathan :smiley:

....
At last!! And I don't even have an Ed30!
Surely you can locate the plaques where you want rather than hidden like suggested!
-
nice and discreet, wonder if I'll still get 1 :smiley:

Only people 1500 and above have to put them there. :evil:

Nice plaque, wack location.
Nick
-
fook me :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: they do exist
-
mine is going just below the gear stick on the centre console as there is a place for it there
-
fook me :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: they do exist
I told you all to keep the faith :wink:
I agree about the location :huh: That is a puzzler..............
-
they look just the job but the location isnt good need to be more on show
-
congrats everyone :cool:
-
They were also hidden on the mk4 anni, (or Edition 25 if you like :grin:) and a very similar style plaque.. less chance of them being knocked off if you only see them when the door is open I guess.
-
Good work and thanks for the update Nath :smiley:
Just as I saw your thread VW rang me again :shocked:
They have said to me these will be posted to owners starting early November and the numbering will be based on the cars build date.

No probs mate, appreciate your efforts too as a few weeks ago (which I decided to keep to myself) they were saying nothing would be done until the New Year so I'd like to think our efforts/nagging/hassling has paid off! :wink:
-
and all the bloody email we keep sending them :laugh: :laugh:
-
and all the bloody email we keep sending them :laugh: :laugh:
I agree Mat, If it wasn't for the pressure this very forum have been putting on VW these things would have probably gathered dust as it sounds as though they couldn't be ar*ed! :wink:
-
power to the people :laugh: :laugh: even if they are getting off lightly if you ask me :rolleyes:
-
well done fellas :smiley:
-
power to the people :laugh: :laugh: even if they are getting off lightly if you ask me :rolleyes:
I will still be pursuing VW on this subject (plus the whole Limited Edition 1500 vehicles point) and don't plan on just accepting the plaque after all this cr*p and very poor customer service. :smiley:
-
OMFG ! I don't believe it .... they are here !!!
-
f**k me they do exist!!!! Nearly fell off my sofa when I saw that pic!!!
Can't wait to see what number I get - away to make myself a nice big JD and coke to celebrate :smiley:
Nice work from everyone who e-mailed an hassled VW on this as it looks like we are getting a result :cool:
-
Yeah nice work to you fellas! Can't believe there is actually a picture of it! :shocked: :smiley:
-
Only people 1500 and above have to put them there. :evil:
:angry:
Im thinking put it on the interior silver strip where it already says Edition 30...to the far right maybe.
-
all that effort and the plaque looks weaksauce, thats worse than the M3 lmited edition plaques !
but i suppose i can get one and point it out to people ! :grin:
great work guys ! :smiley:
-
Good effort! :cool:
-
I did a very big sex wee. :drool:
It's real, it's here, and I'd best get one. Who was running around with a list of ED30 owners and regs? Or did I just get a spam email and manage to send it out to a muppet?
Was gonna visit stealer today until I scratched my car last night. Now I don't think it's a good idea.
EDIT: I'm planning to hide mine (if I get one). The last thing I want is someone to break in, steal it and then use it on a knock-off "GTI30" to make it look legit.
-
Nice one everyone involved, look forward to getting it
-
omg, im shocked.... still im not saying anything untill i get mine thought the post!!! :p
good work tho guys
-
I wonder who has number 0001
-
I never thought I'd see the day - I'm off out to look for the Abominable Snowman swimming in Loch Ness now :wink:

those badges really look week don't they, after months of wait i was kind of expecting something a bit better maybe in aluminum or something, but that looks like something i could cut out of an oyster card and with a careful bit of stenciling reproduce quite easily :grin:
will have to wait and see until it is in hand but not impressed :undecided:

I know... its definitely not right after all the hard efforts of some forum members here. VW just take the p155.

its not too different to the 25th anni plaque
-
tbh i am not fussed about it, I did not add my name to the list steve submitted to VW as if they read this forum then i'd imagine me and a few others would be fooked for certain warranty claims.
But yeh it looks like the mk 4 anni plaq.
-
COOL!!!! :cool:
Finally, all the persuasion is paying off. :laugh:
-
I wonder who has number 0001
I'd imagine it's somebody up in VW. It'd be abit embarrassing if you were head of VW and had an ED30 and it wasn't build 0001!!!
-
i reckon mines a low build number
Mine was a dealer Showroom Car that was given by VW to its 1st owner cus their White Standard GTi caught fire with a coil pack. They
admitted liabilty, and gave them Mine as a way of sayin sorry. Maybe 0030 may be coming home to Southampton!
-
Mine'll probably be one of the later ones. something like 1492.
-
Well as I was one of the 800 people who benefited from the "overbuild" I expect mine will be in the 2100 + range as I ordered mine one week before the order book closed.
-
mine was sat in a showroom for a while before i got it, so it could be an early car :undecided:
-

Keith to VAG Master Tech, 'not sure what it is as I've looked after this car, driven it gently and not done anything silly like a remap or aftermarket parts or anything.... but the engine is fooked' :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

i would love a better location, i.e ashtray cover, but VW have decided on that location and to be proper i guess we will have to follow it, i guess its no worse than the 25th plaque
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y8/182_blue/722976-6.jpg)
i guess we could have Gulf knock us up some special ones for a better location too
-

wow, i would have that if i lived nearer Stu
-
it only cheap because its somone on here. they are about £200-£220 from vw £300 fitted.

Not sure, perhaps im confused LOL, how much did you pay ?

Power to the People! Well done all! :laugh:

Unless the main control unit has part number 1Z0 035 729 (and looks like the stuff on here - http://www.octavia-vrs.com/technical/bluetooth.html) then they are different kits.
The ones UK VW dealers will try to sell you is the built-in sun visor version :sick:
From what I understand the parts for Stu's kit from a UK dealer are around £270 + vat if you get a good trade discount. I know of a company who offer it fully fitted for £350 + VAT :shocked:

Aye :smiley:
the cars just been in for a service and when they opened the bonnet and seen the dbilas sat there they all stopped working and came over and had a look so the serv manager said. They were amazed it could push out 300bhp, I also pointed out the mk5 r32 brakes they advised wouldn't fit on my car :huh:.
-
the kit i have is the one that fits in the roof by the sun visor part number ZGB 000 060 006A. the roof control panel is colour coded black to match the roof lining of a ed 30 etc. will try and get a pic up soon.

hope these are the pictures:

I think by fitting the plaque somewhere other than the recommended place devalues the point of the plaque even further.
If I was going to look at a limited edition car and saw two cars with the limited edition plaque stuck somewhere and then a third with it stuck somewhere else I would start asking questions.
I wish VW would have made it as part of a recall type process and standardised the fitting of them. But then I guess on the other hand its our cars are we can fit it where we want.

Edition 30's dont come in 06 plates do they?
-
^^ why do you ask ?, any car can run a plate thats older than it actually is, so in theory it could have an 03 plate on
-
Nice work guys. Do we know what will happen to those who have leased vehicles?

-

Just wondered if we had a replica going round...what was the earliest plate an Edition 30 came on then? 07?

think they started early 2007 (they wasn't available to order till after November 2006, so should be on an 06 plate), so could be on a 56 plate, im sure someone will be along to correct me soon though :laugh:
-
mine is a dealer ex demo and was registered on the 11/01/07 and is a 56 plate
-

Not sure mate, will find out :wink:

cheers, just thought it would be better on drivers side

this is what the 25th golf one looked like
(http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d122/mat138l/25thgtiplaque.jpg)
-
mine is one of the first ed30 to arrive in the uk registered in dec 06 on a 56 plate , so i would nt have thought there were any on 06 plate !
-
Any update on these ?

Don't you know? They're coming from Japan and that single plaque will provide a 100bhp increase as soon as you stick it on your car :evil:
Seriously though, I'm looking forward to my plaque - seems a little bit of pressure on VW has gone a long way.
-
where has that guy gone??!!?? that thred was an absolute classic!! performence stickers anyone?? :grin: :grin:
-

I spent £300 on some of those stickers and saw a massive performance improvement with the car giving out 450+ bhp. Saved ££££s off if I had gone down the traditional remap route.
:rolleyes:

hi mate , do you mind me asking what colour your car is and reg no ? mines one of the six 56 plates that exist trying to trace the other 5 ?????????
-
As I can't seem to find the thread about the letters people have received about the plaques and not actually receiving one myself, would someone that has received one mind posting up the number to ring please?
-
Sorry, but I really find this a bit of a farce - Special Edition plaques which are not fitted at the factory, sent DIY (or not, as the case may be), to be fitted in an inconspicuous location you can't see.
Someone look irony up in the dictionary please !
Cass
-
TBH I agree - it would have been better to have had it built-in somewhere on the car at the factory, like with some of the supercars.

Have to say bit of a stupied place to put it ?.Would be better on the centre consol or the like so it's on perment display ?.
-
Thats the standard place to put plaques like these. Its where the Mk4 25th ani one went.
-
Well me for one aint putting it where the sun don't shine, mine is going on show where i can have the pleasure of a sneaky peak now and then, not where you have to be stood outside the car with the door wide open to view it. now i know someone will say you must put it where they have said or it will de- value your car, i say it's my car i paid for it, it's going where i want it. :angry:

Mail received today...
Thank you for your recent email regarding your Golf Edition 30 Plaque.

Thank you for your patience in this matter.
