I have five figure personalised number plates but they dont fit on the boot of the car as the holes in the boot are fixed and I dont want to drill more holes. At the moment I have a strip of metal holdng the rear plate on but I have seen some people with a black plastic number plate backing. I want to know where I can get one if any of you know what I am talking about. Or if any of you have any suggestions as to how I could attach them give me a yell.ThanksBrendan

I have since been to a ford dealer and the bloke said he knew what I was talking about but he did not know where I could get one. There was even one on a G6E Turbo in the service department. It is only a small thing but my number plate is only just secured on the rear and continues to flap around. Any help would be appreciated. I always see them on other cars but have had no luck anywhere. I have even tried the local Expensive Daewoo dealer and nothing. I cant be going crazy, I know they exist.
