Fresh number plates?

[bigman_10]

i've just about got my 1.3 looking half decent now but the number plates are letting the side down! they are quite old and the black lettering in going grey and mankey. which type of plate do you recommend? i was thinking about the pressed plates but when i searched them found they are as predicted illegal! so what else should i try, not sure if i like the idea of german plates or not? i dont want anything too obvoiusly illegal either as daddy is a police man !

I have German font plates because mine were cracked & moldy, they really 'freshen' the car up. One of my good mates is a copper and he says,  If you are being a bit lairy it will just give them a reason to pull you over, which could lead to a fine 

I have been lucky so far...touch wood...but i'm probably one of the more careful drivers out of my friends.

I think they looks great on most vdub's

Long M1 drive turned her into a dirty sl*g.

Why not get the pressed uk font plates... I want german plates but I border 4 police forces and at least 1 of them is very strict!!

just get some uk fonts but with a vw logo watermarked behind or something. german plates aint worht the £30 fine imo, seems conterproduction spending £30 on pressed plates, then £30 to remove them at any given time. by all means get some for shows but for general driving i'd stay U.K

i have normal plastic plates with german fonts and "Volkswagen Golf GTI" printed across the bottom with a red border

police dont seem to care around here, just dont give them a reason to be pulled over!

although the pressed german plates look good i like the idea of the uk plates with the vw watermark behind them or something similar! I think i'd like the pressed UK plates but i'm a bit of a wuss!
cheers guys keep the ideas coming!

It's only a number plate !! BUy some standard ones, and put the money towards something more productive !!! 

(Just my honest opinion !!!)

What he said! Get a local plate dude to make you a set without his address and all the other sh!te and they look quite tidy.

if you want the pressed type aslong as they are the correct font and have the correct spacing and border im sure theres not a lot they can say!!!!
