Number Plates on the Mk7

[CT69]

Also, the flimsy two-point upper attachment (of Qld plates, at least) results in significant vibration and/or rattle against the panel. Screwing the plate directly on is also more likely to damage the paintwork over time. A rear baseplate means the plate is not flush, but combined with a protector cover looks much better IMO

Why would anyone need a plate protector on the rear plate? How is it going to get stone chipped? You don't drive down country roads in reverse.....
