Hi again BB...
When a mesh type grille is installed the original OEM number plate mount apparently will not fit flush with the bumper owing to the protruding top edge of the mount which actually engages into the lower slots of the OEM grille.
By inverting it (upside down) the protruding top edge (which is now at the bottom) engages into the centre air intake and remains flush with the bumper. Of course this is only possible on the CRD as the petrol models do not have the centre air intake.
If you access the posts of Murphy The Cat (who has many pics) you will see that he has the OEM front number plate mount inverted.
I would like to see a pic showing what your dealer has done. I presume that he has NOT fitted the OEM mount but has merely screwed the number plate direct onto the bumper?
BTW...glad your first day went so well apart from the debacle with your wheels which is easily sorted.
Regards
Geordie
