    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202987285323 that's the cutter i purchased, looks exactly the same as the one you ordered apart from the size, mine turned out to be quite a tight fit though. i glued the holders on using tiger seal acrylic bonding glue but superglued them in position first.

    nothing is wrong with the q plate in itself, its what problems will be made once its on a q such as inflated insurance costs. the cutting of thebholesbis no problem, the bumper will have the crosses where the sensors fit so getting them in the right position is easy enough. i actually bought the...

    i purchased it from a local car trader,i don't know who imported it though and its not easy finding out.someone in the past had got a iva certificate then didn't use it though and no mention of it when i bought it, which does seem odd, at the end of the day though there's only myself to blame so...

    None of the above applies apparently. It doesn’t have a original reg number as it has never been registered in UK. The vin and all other numbers are all original and match Audi’s records. ITs gone through a Iva test and a mot so has been quite thoroughly checked over and tested. Common sense...

    Probably healthy profit if they can sell it off as repairable to gullible people,never thought I was one but you live and learn,the trouble is there’s no clear guidance pre purchase for someone in this same predicament. The guidelines for a Q plate are somewhat lacking.
