I changed number plates on my car today and on removing the old ones discovered what can only be called a mess.
Seems the monkey at the dealership who fitted the plates failed basic maths. Sadly, the monkey also had a tool in the form of a drill and has managed to drill two holes in the back that aren't equidistant or level and on the front plinth, there are four holes, none of which align.
On one hand, I could maybe understand it if they were trying to align screw caps into the black / yellow / white so it was a neater job but if that's the rationale, just use double sided number plate tape as there is forgiveness if you're that incompetent.
I understand that it can be quite difficult on certain bumper shapes - god knows I've spent time with masking tape and lasers to ensure I don't mess it up where I have needed to drill but am I alone in being disproportionately p!ssed off by this sort of slovenly incompetence?
I've found the easiest way to get it centred is to use a laser - align to the centre baseline of the 'V' of the badge and work from there but if I was a dealer, surely making a templated frame with spacers would be easy, fool proof and worth the time?
