Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am about to fit replacement number plates to my 718 Spyder and have noticed that the Standard fixing positions have the screws at the ends of the front plate but nearer the centre of the rear plate ........... noticeable on all the official Spyder rear pics . Does anyone know the reason for this ? I may wish to bring the rear plate screws towards the ends to match the front plate but do not wish to cause any internal screw damage .

POST 2Original post

The screws will be through the rear bumper - so by moving the screws for aesthetics you're going to be making more holes. The rear bumper has a slightly raised section in the middle - looks like to accommodate a US sized plate - if you put the screws outside of this the middle of the plate might bow a little around it. The front is obviously screwed at the end because of the curve of the front bumper.

POST 3Original post

never screw on any plates I always us good quality double edge tape ,as to the curve on the front gently bend it and apply heat i made up jig and leave on a radiator for 24hrs it gives a nice curve and does not spring away at the corners when taped down.
