It's just a front plate. Drill and get on with your life.

RE: The Itty Bitty NOVA VW Committee - ScottyB - 02-28-2018

i'm OCD about symmetry so i'd go OEM and keep it in the center. i kinda like that it outlines the plate in black too, which makes the install look a bit cleaner.

Nope, I am with you Dj. I don't get doing this on stock cars. The offset is uglier than having it in the center IMO. I also don't get why you don't want to drill the holes? Odds are you are trading in the car when you're done with it so what do the holes even matter?

Your point is valid, but since 3M tape will do the job just find, why would I intentionally damage the bumper? If I resell the car in VA I will likely leave it on, but if I ever leave the state or if I sell it on the forum, it'll be a small value add to mention that the front plate mount is reversible.

Someone is 3D Printing one that mounts in the lower right part of the front grill that sits flush and won't mess with the parking sensors.

I agree that the tow hook ones look imbalanced, I still don't love the offset of this one, but I do like how flush it sits and the fact that it is lower than the OEM mounting location. The center of the grill isn't an option because it has a significant impact to the airflow into the intercooler. So it's either order one from this guy or just slap the OEM one on with double sided trim tape.

Aaannnnyyyyway. I'm buying a tow hook mount, so Joey, we can test fit it on yours if you want. Just waiting on my dang gift card from work to get to me.

I've ran an offset plate on 2 of my Miatas and I liked it.

I'm pulling the trigger on that 3D printed one. Dude has 2 kits left ready to ship, just waiting for him to send me a paypal invoice.

I like how it pretty much hides the plate from this angle

EDIt: Just kidding, it's for the Golf R only, grabbing a fresh roll of double sided tape either at lunch or on my way home.

Using tape on your car is like one step below rattle can ricer.

It's ok I just freaked out on him on Facebook for calling 3M trim tape "scotch tape."

I'm calling carbon steel grey. One of my favorite greys by any manufacturer.

Oh Taylor - I wish you were alive in MM during the Great Hate. This is but a scratch Wink

Congrats on all the purchases, lol this is hilarious. That green on Joey's car is so early 90's, I honestly never thought I'd see such a color on a new car again, much excite that it's back - and very different. I'd be curious to see production numbers in the future to see how many were built in that color.

Yeah so I went out for lunch and saw the color in the sun in person for the first time ever.

Dear God. I'm in love.

A couple of guys in a red Golf almost broke their necks to get a better glimpse of me when I ran out to grab lunch. I feel good.

RE: The Itty Bitty NOVA VW Committee - JPolen01 - 02-28-2018

That does look nice in the sun. Rock on man.

RE: The Itty Bitty NOVA VW Committee - Steve85 - 02-28-2018

So, yeah, congrats to all! These are such a deal, I was checking them out last October when they were giving them away, just not quite big enough for my needs but seem perfect for your situations.

Damn...those early pics don't show the color at all, that is so so good, so different.
