Hello All,
I have noticed that our new beetle didn't come with any factory holes in the bumper to mount the number plate which is surprising to find on a new car.
our dealer fitted our personalized plates with two self tapping screws which at first i didn't have a problem with until i took the plates off the have the paint protection done and we found the front number plate had been rattling around and scratched off the paint from the bumper, Even that it couldn't be seen we were most unimpressed.
Our dealer was great and touched up the paint so the paintwork is all sealed again but i need to come up with a better solution.
For the time being we are sticking some adhesive foam tape between the car and number plate to stop it scratching again.
But i would like to find a better way to mount the plate if possible.
I thought of installing nutserts into the bumpers but if that doesn't work then i left with even bigger holes in the bumper.
so what has everybody else done to their car ?
