Where have you stuck yours??
« on: November 19, 2009, 08:19:46 pm »
Erm.....Ed30 number plaque that is? Mine arrived today after nearly a month's wait  :happy2: Number 2227 mine is.

My covering letter says "The plaque should be fitted to the inside edge of the front passenger door" and i've received fitting instructions showing the door panel (offside door looking at the picture) and the plaque's positioning 25mm in from the door's edge and 3mm up from the door trim join.

However, i'm not keen on this positioning because if it does fall off when the door is open then it could be lost.

So....where have you stuck yours??

Personally if I had an Edition 30 to stick a plaque to, I'd stick it to the ashtray lid.

Hasnt someone kept the plaque in doors and using a lettering kit, etched the number on the dash, passenger side... 182_blue rings a bell, i may be wrong. My anni one is on the fuse box cover within the door, looks odd if its on the ashtray.

mine is just by the hand brake, nice flat surface but not highly visable, discreet.

No letters, no plaque, no build number. One year and counting.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Toast, Oli and Stealthwolf - my commiserations to you.

If you've a case number then surely a phone call once a week would push things along. Its taken me just under a month to get mine:-

1) went into main dealer with V5 and changed over ownership into my name/address.
2) the day after phoned customer services (0800 0833 914) - spoke to Sarah Ratcliff - who knew all about the plaques. She checked my details which had updated on the computer then created a case number for me to receive my plaque.
3) Voila, 3 weeks later plaque arrives
I cant understand the delay, unless your plaque has already been issued and they'll make new ones as and when they've enough 'orders'.
Also, the Customer Services Manager is called Matthew Young (my letter was from him). Try putting some polite pressure on him to get the ball rolling.

BTW, the ZGB number you can see is the Part Number for these plaques, if that helps!
