Hi All,

Before i pull the stuck on plates off the back of my car, can anyone tell me if there are pre-drilled holes on the boot so i can fix a plate holder on securely ??

Ta

Yes there is predrilled holes with threads on the boot.

Ignore the rusty holes...

Thats cleaner than mine... And thats behind the plates!

Thanks. Photos as well

My only issue now is fitting the front number plate holder as it needs to bend quite a lot to fit correctly.

warm it on a radiator, (not really hot) will make it a bit more flexible.

The rest of it wasn't so clean.

I only washed it off to ask Skoda why that despite them making the effort to provide dedicated mounting holes one of their grease monkey's decide to self-tapper the number plate screws straight through the bodywork. Twice!

Yikes! I reckon you'll be needing a new boot lid there.

ahhhhh. That was going to be my next question !!

I was lucky, Skoda UK agreed and had it repaired at one of ther approved bodyshops (I only noticed outside of the warranty period and was unable to 100% prove it was the supplying dealer - although the original plates had to my knowledge never been removed from new).

It does make you wonder though what happens when you drop your pride and joy off for a service if they can't do something like attach number plates properly.

I replaced the supplied plates a year after I got my car and I was worried sick when I came to actually removing them - it was soon after you posted those above pictures.

I'm pleased to say that my local main dealer do obviously have some people with a little sense - mine used the pre-drilled holes.
