Have you looked into the "show plate" ? Im after been trying to find a link to it there as i seen it a few weeks ago. Theyre expensive enough if i remember at circa €150.
Basically its an electronically controlled plate you press a button it slides out and flips up press it again and it hides itself away(usually between the grill) ive seen them on a few VAG cars.0 -

Made it to Bordeaux, about 1800km under the belt now, its ridiculous how stable this car is at constant speed, its first real test in 2.5 years.
Lost a flag though! Around the 1200km mark, one of the lads pointed out the windscreen and shouted "its gone!". The plastic flagpole snapped clean in half just above where it was screwed to the metal bracket I made. I was surprised how they lasted for so long at 130kph+ for over 1000km, I doubt the real ones could handle that.
Still have the other one though, the looks we get absolutely everywhere is priceless.

Yeah, I'd be a bit suspicious of Irish flags going missing from cars in France.
I was working there for about a year in 2009/2010, and the week of the Henry handball, my flag mysteriously liberated itself from the car overnight outside the house I was renting!! (I don't know how the ba$tards did it, but they managed to remove it without breaking the plastic clip thing that sat over the window! so kudos to them for the clean removal)

This will be my final picture of the beast, deposit on and will be gone this evening. Sad to see it go but due to tax, running costs and a cut in work hours it forces sale.
Looking at Mk5 1.6 Golf or Mini Cooper S as replacement for a couple of months.0 -
