Post by: Golfgirl on February 13, 2009, 09:48:51 pm: Pics showing ok here, although you've blanked out the beginning of your number plate in one pic, and the end of it in the other pic, so people could still work out what it is :grin:

I've got some plate holders (slightly different to the ones shown, more like the ones in the Ebay link in the first post) but only use them for shows with my show plates in.

No pics at the mo as I'm not on my own computer, but you can just see it in my sig pic.

Post by: spikeydoo on February 13, 2009, 10:01:51 pm: I've just bought those very surrounds, from that seller on ebay. Not got round to fitting them but looks like they'll fit on the front reasonably well. I hope to get them on tomorrow so I'll post a pic up when I'm done.

Post by: Shaun on February 14, 2009, 07:52:22 pm: I bought a pair of the Autohaus Wolfsburg surrounds too, but agree with Blue and took the front one off after a while as i think it's too fiddly.

I have had these on virtually all my cars for about 20 years... in fact I think I may have started the trend because my first pair were actually acquired in person at Autohaus Wolfsburg during my first trip to do the factory tour. They actually gave them to me for nothing - I think they were a bit non-plussed by the mad english bloke asking for a set of their plate surrounds!

Incidentally I also have the 'wolf' decal on the tailgate too to match!
