Do you mind if I utilise these photos in my complaint to the MD of Budgen Shrewsbury?

Not a problem.

I will try and find the picture of a fellow members brand new HS PHEV that has suffered the same fate !.

I know it's a little late now, but I'd ask the dealer in advance if the plates could be fitted with sticky pads if you are ever in the position to do this.

I really don't know what goes through the dealers mind when drilling these holes!

My fastenings fall on the edge of a character and the dealer has still used the proper holes.

You’re not leaving the screws like that….surely…..

They hand this job to the lowest peon in the place, they probably don’t even know, they just see a car with plates on = job done.

If you think I'm going to paint half the screw head black to match the lettering......
I might replace them with security screws though.

I change plates so often (three cars with private plates) that I’ve become intensely fussy.
Squint bothers me, your screws bother me
