    Hi folks,

    Have just imported an early Mk2 GTI and chose ZV plates. Where do people order their black/silver plates? Tips/recommendations well received :)

    Thanks

    Hey, I used eireplates.com for black /chrome plates.

    If you have a local TOP PART shop, they will get them for the next day, they charge me E35.

    It depends what you want tbh. Are you happy with a regular set of silver-on-black plates? Or do you want a period-correct set of plates? Also, do you want metal or plastic/acrylic plates?

    I'm very fussy when it comes to details on my cars, such as plates. I searched long-and-hard for a set of period-correct acrylic plates for my '78 Manta last September. A lot of UK-based suppliers would not supply me with what I wanted (because they wouldnt make silver-on-black plates for a post-1973 car, i.e. when such plates were no longer legal in the UK). I finally found a small UK supplier who made exactly what I wanted.

    The Forum on Spirituality has been closed for years. Please bring it back, there are lots of Spiritual people in Ireland and elsewhere.

    Hi Silvera, Care to share who the supplier was?

    I have used them for show plates. However, I believe their 'vintage plates' are modern-style pressed metal plates...fine if OP doesnt want period-correct plates.
