Anyone with a clubby mind telling me how the plates are mounted? Is there a front plate mount like in the mk7, and is there holes for the rear plate?
My front plate is screwed directly into the bumper (no mount) and the rear is mounted on a dealer branded number plate surround, again screwed into the bumper using numberplate screws.
I’ve never looked to see whether there are pre-drilled holes in the bumper cover, in fact thinking about it I dread to think how filthy the bumpers are beneath my numberplates…
