Front number plate
Hi,
had to get a new front number plate for my UK bugeye as the previous one was deteriorated.
Took old one off and now I can't put the new one on! The rubber 'washers' that seem to sit behind the front bumper have moved and I don't seem to be able to reach them from behing by hand to readjust their position.
Any ideas?
I've already drilled the new plate so ideally want to use the same mounting points

Its tricky. I would buy another plate and re drill it. About an inch either side outside the bumper holes.
This is what is inside your bumper -

I still think I have some kind of rubber 'washer's behind the bumper. When I looked I could see they'd been dislodged and when I tried to straighten them up I made it worse! I have the mounting plate on the front of the bumper but as there's nothing to grip from behind the screws just spin round and don't have anything to fix
