Sorry guys, wasn't implying anyone was lying at all - that was from the horses mouth at VW customer care this morning, they were to be honest rather unhelpful with all of my queries. They stated that there would be no edition 30 plaques and that the only "numbered" golf of recent years was the 25th Anniversary Mk4. I'm sorry if anyone has taken offence by the post it wasn't meant at that - just to have had a scarcastic undertone. I have been keeping a keen watchful eye on all the "plaque" threads over the last few months and have seen the emails sent to other forum members - I unquestionably believe them. I was just stating what the chimps at customer care stated.
Regards to all,
Gareth
