vw rule 19 Posted September 22, 2019 Has anyone seen the above item for sale on Amazon, it's slightly different to original spec, but doesn't look as robust as the one's Chris has made = Sprinter53 On Amazon it states they're brand new but are 460mm instead of standard 540mm Cost £84.65 + postage. Once on Amazon type in search box Corrado Rear Plinth and it should come up, if not then I'll try and post up a link. Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted September 22, 2019 I quite like that with the bit more black, certainly looks good in the picture, might be better if you have a slightly shorter reg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vw rule 19 Posted September 22, 2019 Yeah that's what I was thinking you might need a slightly smaller registration plate. Just wondering if anyone on here has bought one. Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisL 18 Posted September 22, 2019 They look great and look to have the original type fixings. They also look like the original finish rather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 18 Posted October 2, 2019 Just received mine and must say, the quality is excellent! The finish looks identical to the original one and hoping the fit is the same. I’ve just received the narrower number plate too. I chose this one over the other reproduction ones as the others need painting to achieve the OEM finish.

Hi Mate can you please text / WhatsApp me a photo of your new rear plinth. I might get one myself. Cheers Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vw rule 19 Posted October 2, 2019 Yeah it does look good closeup in your photos. I think I'll grab one as I'm sure I've got a £20 Amazon gift voucher somewhere. Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oneohtwo 8 Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) How are these lasting for the people that got one? Just found mine hanging off the car (the original factory item) ... the lugs have all broke and the number plate tape isn't holding it, so thinking it is time to replace. There's this one or the Heritage one. The Heritage one is £250 quid, but it is gloss black and having done mine in gloss black I quite like it. Plus I don't have to get a new number plate. Just checking all the options though. Edited June 6, 2021 by oneohtwo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dox 23 Posted May 31, 2021 How much are the CF ones? My neighbours son works with CF and we've had a couple of conversations re wings and bonnets, I never considered plinths Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did try searching myself as well, but as you say... 1 hour ago, Dox said: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174292462242 Saw these as well. As much as I like carbon, I don't think I want it for the number plate plinth. As I need it fairly soon, I think I'll go with the Heritage one. At least I will finally have my gloss black plinth which doesn't have paint lifting on it! Thanks everyone for the help.

oneohtwo 8 Posted June 2, 2021 That's the one. I should read the description more carefully, as it does say Spoonfed in that! Odd the description says carbon fibre, but the details say it is fibreglass. Will find out when it arrives I guess.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regards Chris I just didn’t think it looked original enough, although it was close and had I not had an old original one I would have sprayed it and fitted it.
