Or go to your local main dealer and get some. :smiley:

Will VW stealership actually do them then? Any ideas on price out of interest?

Most dealers will supply number plates if you ask, I paid £14 for mine from the local Skoda dealer.

That's cheaper than what I'd expect land rover where I used to work charged that per plate

Well I use them a lot but he told me that is about the price they charge.

Interesting to know cheers guys. Need some new ones but not particularly bothered about pressed ones. Would be nice to have Volkswagen written on them instead of the current 'carmart' :grin:

'Legal' ones from dubmeister look nice but I don't think I can be bothered with the hassle.

To be fair mate buying from dubmeister isn't really hassle, just got to send your driving license and v5 off, I did mine recorded to be safe and you get them back with your plates in 2 or 3 days time

Very true mate but I was referring to whether they are actually legal or not. I know they claim to be but I it's the hassle of explaining that to the fuzz when/if being pulled.
