When my car arrived from Wolfsburg in early August 2005 I had the option of 'VW05 RED' or 'VW06 RED' if I waited a few weeks until September, but...
1) - I'd already waited over 12 weeks and was hot for her.
2) - '05' can also be interpreted as Mk5.
Dig the 5's:
I wasn't sure at the time but now I'm really pleased I spent the £700 on my plate - It's brought me a lot of attention of the welcome kind and gives my car a strong identity.
