Number plate surrounds

[kriswa428]

Just found a pair of number plate surrounds on ebay; Audi Mercedes Volkswagen VW Number Plate Surrounds on eBay (end time 17-Feb-11 22:56:08 GMT)

Before i bought them I just wanted to know your opinions, are they secure and safe enough? I am not planning to swap between road and show plates, I just thought they were a nice touch for when i get my new plates fitted. If anyone has expierence with surrounds let me know

Thanks.

had a set on mine for two years now, only reason was to fit metal plates so no screw holes. fronts are fine but rear tends to rattle when shutting tailgate so need to stick edges down with number plate tape.

here you are m8

yeah their smart! gonna get myself a set i think. Was considering pressed plates but I'm not sure....? I'm not a fan of chavvy plates but I've always liked the german pressed type. Anyone know any decent sets?

I thot about the pressed but never bothered wasnt sure they would look good ,dubmeister i think for plates ,british font ones would best i reckon

most pressed plates are illegal as they're not reflective... the dubmiester ones ARE legal as they've got a reflective coating, but the police are a bit hit and miss as to whether they believe that or not (or at least they are around here!)

I had metal plates and got pulled by police they have to have the makers post code on too
Since buying a private i've gone to standard plates with surrounds
I got my surrounds from local audi dealership prefer the surrounds than two screws
