Hello everyone.

Recently put a short plate on my new car which has exposed the holes from where the plinth used to be screwed in.

What can be done to tidy this up?

Fit a proper length plate.
That's extremely unhelpful, cheers.

And all of the above contributions serve to demonstrate just why my suggestion was the best, simplest, cheapest, quickest, most elegant and obvious solution.
Given that I've just had the gopping original plate removed, and had explained that in my post, it was a rather foolish 'solution'.

What's with the short number plate anyway?
Firstly, as long as it is correctly spaced it is fully legal.

As to why the short plate is better...Designers spend hundreds of hours perfecting the lines that go into a car. The front of my car is an elegant thing and bolting a plinth and a great big plate on the front significantly diminishes that elegance.

I feel your pain, but there's no need to be rude.
Perhaps I misread the tone of your original reply.

My apologies beer
