  1. BoxerBoy's post in Distance (pitch) between OE number plate screw holes? was marked as the answer   
    My memory tells me that most of the new cars I've seen in dealer yards have front bumper fixing holes in addition to rear fixings, or at least indents in the plastic where the screws might be fitted.I detest bumper screws.
    Thanks for that.My 13" rear plate will be OK, but I'm beaten with the front one.
    Will have to stay with a full length front plate to hide the OE Skoda bumper fixings.

    I'll go with all of this.
    I've never met a car with a Speed Limiter. It sounds like a nonsense device.
    Cruise control combined with Mk.1 eyeball and some grey matter between the ears is what you need.
    If a limiter only strangles the car to stop it exceeding some number determined by an inaccurate measuring device (speedometer) while requiring the driver to maintain the throttle pedal position, then it is hardly much help on a long stretch of road.
    Last week I enjoyed many miles of M6 road works at 50mph and was amazed to find much self passing countless vehicles that must have had their speedo needles stuck on 50mph - true speed around 55/56 or so - while my (Garmin stick on) GPS guided cruise control was holding me to a more realistic 50/51mph and my speedo reading was probably around 55. A speed limiter would still give me cramp in my leg. Unless it's on a tractor with a hand throttle.
    A speed limiter sound like a relic from the past, but as one who has driven for over 4 decades, why am I surprised I've never met one :-)
