• The TDIClub classifieds section is a heavily trafficked section of the forum that encompasses want-to-buy (WTB) and for-sale (FS) threads for the entire world. Due to the demanding nature and fast pace of this section, it is imperative that you know and understand the rules. It is also important to remember that this is the only parts classifieds section.

    Cross-posting and posting classifieds in the regional sections (except the dedicated thread in Ontario) is not permitted.

    Multiple items should be sold in one thread. Make sure to provide a description for all items in your post along with pictures and prices. If you start multiple threads with individual items, they will be locked or combined at the discretion of the moderators.

    Here is a quick outline of the classifieds section rules. If you don't follow these rules, you subject yourself to thread deletion, thread combination, infractions, or posting privilege revocation.

    Thread titles:
    • Put FS or WTB in your thread title. This will let other users know if you are selling or buying.
    • Briefly describe what you are selling. Thread titles have limited space. Be as descriptive, yet succinct, as possible.
    • Put your location in the title.
    • If space allows, put your price in the title

    Title example (single item): "FS: 2004 Mk4/BEW cylinder head - Portland, OR - $500"
    Title example (multiple items): "FS: MK6 fog lights, front bumper, headlights, grill - Detroit, MI"
    Title example (car part-out): "FS: Mk3 Jetta parting out engine & interior - Dallas, TX"

    Thread text descriptions and pictures:
    • All for-sale threads must include pictures of the items that you are selling. One picture is sufficient, but multiple pictures with different angles will help buyers. A picture is worth a thousand words. If you don't know how to post pictures on TDIClub, see this thread: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=286691
    • All for-sale threads must include a description. We don't charge per-word, so be as descriptive as possible. The more information you can provide, the easier it will be for buyers.
    • All for-sale threads must include a price. Auctions and bidding are not allowed. If you want to auction something off, use eBay.
    No picture, no price, NO SALE!

    Thread maintenance/updates/bumps:
    • When you sell something, update your thread with "SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title.
    • If you have multiple items for sale, update your thread as each item has been sold. When everything has been sold, updated the thread with "ALL ITEMS SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title when all items have been sold.
    • If you bump your thread, please delete old bumps by clicking on EDIT and then deleting the old bump. This will reduce clutter in your thread and make it easier to read. It also makes you look less desperate.
    • If you drop your price, please update your first post in addition to posting the new price. If you would like the thread title changed, click on the report post icon and let a moderator know what you would like the title changed to.

    Moderator intervention and infraction points:
    Moderators will be monitoring the classifieds section. If a moderator determines that you have not been following the rules listed above, corrections will be made and infraction points will be assessed to your account.

    What is an infraction point? Simple - it's a system of keeping track of user behavior. A moderator can assign a point value based on the severity of the infraction, as well as an expiration date on the points assessed. If you accumulate a certain number of points, the system will auto-ban you for a predefined amount of time. The more points you accumulate, the longer your ban period will be.

    One example of points is as follows: multiple threads will be combined into a single thread, with the number of infraction points assessed corresponding to the number of threads merged. If we merge four threads into one, then you will be assessed four points that expire in 30 days. When you reach five points, the system will auto-ban you for one day.*

    *This is an example based on the current infraction system structure. We reserve the right to modify the infraction system at any time without notice or updates to this announcement.

    Thank you for your cooperation, and good luck with your sales and searches! :)

Well I was waiting for a respone for another frame sold here but could not get a response as to availability, or shipping time. So I decided to invest some money and have a really nice frame made.

My wife has nothing to do all day so she can ship these EVERY day for anyone who wants them fast!

Now the details. The frames are plastic with Raised white lettering. The Lettering is molded in the plastic and raised up, not silk screened on! They have four holes so they can be securily mounted. Notice the bottom holes are fairly hidden if you only want to use the top ones.

The price is $8.90 including postage via US Mail for one, or $15.00 including postage for two. I will take Paypal, checks, (checks will not be a problem at all)and your Canadian checks/money orders are also welcome (we'll have to figure the exchange rate.

I travel in my TDI everyday and at least twice a week I am stopped at one of the Flying J's by someone wanting to know how I like my car and I always point them to the TDI club website. I may just hand out some of these to serious future owners.

Now I feel I need to contribute something to Fred for creating and maintaining the site and I will donate ALL of the money from the first 10 frame sales to him. And I will continue to donate a portion of every sale.

The frames will be in my hand on Oct 11th and I will post a picture of the real thing at that time, with payment info.

So, is any of the money collected going to Fred V. (owner of TDICLUB.COM) formthe sale of these frames? I think that was the deal with the other vendor, and besides, he does own the site... just curious.

Yes, I looked at Branders and autoplates but they are both silk screened to the frame. Autotags4u are just one-off engraved plastic stuck on a metal frame.

These new plate frames have RAISED lettering molded in the frame then the raised part is coated white.

Will this frame cover the bottom of the license plate? I know you're not allowed to have a cover that abstructs any significant portion of the plate here in NY, and many other states have similar laws as well.

And I hope your wife doesn't see that you think she has "nothing to do all day".


Cheers.

Based on the picture shown a couple of posts above, this plate will cover part of the bottom of the license plate.
If you look at the bottom part of the frame you can see that the two screw holes are in the frame, rather than above it.

It looks like it will cover the plate much like the original "tdiclub" frames do.
I have one on my car. I covers most of my tags. In the 11 months I've had it, I haven't had a problem. I do realize that it's an invitation to be pulled over if the authorities so desire.

This frame will not cover a significant part of the bottom of the plate. It is the same frame car dealers are using.

I will post pix next week on the car with plates when the frames arrive.

The frames will start shipping on Tuesday the 12th. For those who paid yours will go out then. I will post some pix Tuesday morning of the real thing.

Yes... but in Utah your registration stickers aren't in the lower corners of the plate like they are in Oregon. I was hoping this one was a different design. Oh well... I'm still frameless!

I finally got mine on after cutting the bottom out a little for the tags here in Colorado. I did a very crappy job but from 5 feet away it looks pretty good.

I like that even though I did cut out the bottom a little, "Yes! It's A Diesel!" still shows perfectly.
