VW (with a bit of help from Greenouse
) have offered to remake my plaque as the defect isn't acceptable
VW also advised these won't at this stage be available to re-order through the normal dealer channels.
However I have been in contact with the company that produced the plaques and they are going to come back to me if it's possible to get a run of selected numbers (if enough people are interested). So I let me know if this might be of interest to you
