Looking at the amount of holes that have been drilled in the numberplate area, leads me to think it's been on more than one or two cars.

I don't think they were £1000 either

Blimey, that number plate area looks like a dartboard!

I'm sure there's someone out there wanting one though.

All those holes! Its so unnecessary.

I shake my head when I see new reg cars with rear number plates secured with screws through brand new metal!

Agreed, its crazy! you just know its gonna rust... and in this day and age with the many sticky things we have for number plates i really dont know why people do it.
A lot of manufactures dont do it anymore.

In some countries like in Portugal, it's mandatory. All cars have to have the license plates secured with screws or to be riveted.

This is mandatory and a way to stop or create dificulteis to the ones who want to steal them.

I imported my ZT-T in to Portugal and during the Matriculation process I was instructed that my NEW Portugal Number plate had to be screwed on.
I had my UK 'Yellow Smiley' plate, was told that I could not just fix the new Pt plate over it, so I bought a White Smiley with the Pt details on it from the UK. NO that's not allowed as the White colour was wrong!!! So I fixed the Pt plate on the top of the White Smiley... It has now passed the bi-annual test since then on 2 occasions

Yep, that's correct.

And not only regarding the colour... the plates have a design, type of material and dimensions established by the government(IMTT). Any other not approved by them, can occur in a fine, if caught by the police and on cars that already have to go trough our annual MOT(IPO), that can result in a fail(red sheet).

In most cases with new cars the holes are normally pre-drilled and have nylon bushes inserted for the screws to go into the tailgate and boot lids, otherwise they are stuck on.
