Number Plate Fittings / Screw Sizes?
« on: November 09, 2013, 12:33:54 pm »
Does anyone know what size screws are needed to fit a number plate to the front of the R32?

My number plate was stuck down using sticky strips when replaced through an insurance job.

Its now starting to come undone and would like to screw it in myself. Trouble is I don't have the old number plate for a template in order to drill some holes.

So will the rear number plate have the same size screw holes and width apart as the front ones?

Also which screws from Halfords will be the right ones?

You can drill the holes whatever width you like - just be careful at the front as there are two indents in the number plate holder which are best I avoid.

Oh and don't get ripped off with halfords prices - these are what you need

I used the holes in the front bumper and bought these , but i used plate surrounds as well
I had to trim the bolts down a bit , but been fine
