VW Rear License Plate Bracket
VW Rear License Plate Bracket
Couldn't load pickup availability
We've taken the design of our rear license plate bracket from the Focus RS and adapted it to fit various Volkswagen (and Audi) models!
This revised bracket is available in a couple different engineering-grade materials: carbon fiber nylon (tough and strong) and carbon fiber polyphenylene sulfide (extremely tough).
All brackets come with 316 (marine grade) stainless steel fasteners to mount the bracket to your car, as well as to mount your license plate TO the bracket. Since a lot of folks do not like the look of stainless steel screw heads, if you opt for the standard ones, you will receive a set of UV-resistant snap-on caps to cover the screws.
Alternatively, we also offer black oxide coated 304 stainless fasteners as an option, but bear in mind that these are nowhere near as corrosion resistant as the standard 316 stainless steel ones we offer. We DO NOT recommend these for use on cars on the east coast or in the rust belt.
Since not all VW rear ends are created equal (and we're still working to figure out which ones are which), the shape of the hatch/trunk/bumper will dictate which bracket you will need.
Custom logos are available for free! Leave me a note at checkout, or get in touch via email/text/store chat about what you'd like.

Our Materials
Our Materials
We often get asked what the difference is between all of the different materials that we offer.
UberTough Nylon Carbon Fiber: This is a copolymer alloyed with Nylon 6 and Nylon 12, and then reinforced with 15% carbon fiber. The resulting product is a bracket that exhibits some marginal flexibility, but is reasonably rigid and very tough. We take these a step further by bonding the outer carbon fiber shell to an even tougher and ductile core made from Nylon 910. We then put each bracket through an annealing process, followed by a toughening process.
FlexiTough Nylon Carbon Fiber + TPU: This unique hybrid shares the same carbon fiber shell as our UberTough brackets do, but instead of a Nylon 910 core we bond it to TPU instead. The resulting bracket is more flexible, but also tougher and more resistant to breakage.
PPS Carbon Fiber: Compared to Nylon, this material is extremely rigid. Significantly stronger to the point of being overkill for the application, PPS is also very heat resistant and has the unique characteristic of sounding like metal if you tap it on a hard surface. It tends to have a rougher looking surface finish than Nylon does, and it also doesn't laser mark very well.

From start to finish, every step proved to be flawless.
Installed this on my VW ID. Buzz and it worked perfectly. Fit was spot on, install was quick, and it feels solid and well made.
Exactly what I was looking for to cleanly mount the rear plate without any hassle. Highly recommended if you’re running an ID. Buzz and want something that just works.
This is a really quality piece made for my specific application. Communication was outstanding, as they were able to build it for specific application. All good here!!
They're not kidding when they say they'll work to make something custom. I reached out about modifying the GTI bracket to work with a captive nut setup and Chris both recommended I go with the general VW one and then adjusted the bracket layout to make sure the screws would clear the bumper beam behind based on a measurement I provided.
Not having to worry about self-tapping screws coming loose from removing too often is a great feeling, and it allowed me to properly center the plate location after the dealer's poor original placement. I wish I had more cars that needed one at this point.
My GTI, like all others from the factory, came with self-tapping screws drilled right into the plastic bumper to mount the license plate. Over time I was concerned that these would strip out when taking off/changing plates. After doing a bit of research, I stumbled upon this website and it was exactly what I was looking for! Chris was super-helpful and friendly answering all of my questions, and was very quick to respond. Shipping was also very fast. I was very pleased with the packaging and instructions when I received my parts, and now that it’s on the car, I know 100% that I made the right choice ordering this bracket. Thanks again for making a great custom product - it’s businesses like this that need to be supported!
