Put my shortened plate on along with black Audi ring badges and its made a big improvement IMO. It's the small things that matter lol.

Always prefer full size plates when there's a recess or platform for them.

Nice car though

Yeah, it's too obvious.

Put a new pic up with focus around the plate area without it being dark in that area and hidden

The plates and surrounds that were fitted previously were dreadful!

The plate recess has been drilled to buggery by the previous owners and has screw holes all over place so what they've done is paint a blank reg plate gloss black to match the grill and put my plate on top. The rear was just as bad and with it being white I had to have it all filled in and painted. I'll get the front done eventually but I need to curb the spending a touch now that we've book a holiday for September. Spending money comes first My plates are the standard shortned sizes and all legal so they'll be staying put I'll try and get a better brighter pic of the front and show you what's been done.

Looks loads better, full sized plates with less digits look properly wank! Why would you want a shit load of excess plastic on either side?

Looks great mate

I have normal sized plates but like you say gave it looks to big. Loads of white and yellow sticking out a mile.

Corsa sport wouldn't be the same without 90% of everyone not liking it

I like the plate, but unsure on the rings. A better photo would probably help with that though!

Never been a fan of small plates.

Doesn't look awful though, if you're happy we are happy

Hate black rings on the front - looks like they have been nicked

Tried it on the a6 and binned them straight away

Nice car though

Really liking it. Stronic box takes a bit getting used to. Still going for a clutch/gearstick every now and again.

I find it a bit to soft tho. A set of H&R springs and uprated arb is supposed to transform these so they'll be on the to do list somewhere along with a few other bits. It doesn't feel as quick as the Cupra even tho it has more power but it all down to the weight of it really.

I think plain full sized plates would have looked better.

Or plain metal pressed plates? (legal)

I've a set on the Octavia and they look neat IMO.
