It seems I don't understand what this thread is for.
The dealer has used yellow (rear) and white (front) capped screws to fix the number plate to my new car. In the middle of the black text . I took one out of the rear plate to check the type, and bought black replacements. The screw on the front is a different type.

An additional first world problem is that security screws for number plates are a Very Good idea and may be available FOC from your local plod. Worth doing before you find yourself in the rant thread.

Worth doing before you find yourself in the rant thread.An additional FWP is that someone needs to seize motor-car manufacturers warmly by the throat and and, while bouncing their collective heads off the nearest brick wall, shout "DOUBLE-SIDED TAPE IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE METHOD OF SECURING NUMBER PLATES, YOU WITLESS PARSNIPS!" in their ears.
Last time I looked they used pop rivets here.
Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.
Kim, you are very bad!
