Is there any way you guys have put on personalised plates onto a fiesta? i drilled holes into the top as the holes did not match the standards ones. now the plate sits very low and looks awkward.

Yep, I made a backing plate from some galvanised steel, and mounted the plates to it!!!

Got my backing plate from them. Exxy, yes, but service is amazing, quick delivery, and the plates are fantastic. Can't reccomend them enough. Pictures on my car are on his site. They are the tits!

My plates would have fitted too, but being Euro plates it'd mean either screwing on the sides (drill holes exposed so future owner would need the Euro plates to conceal it) and if I screwed in the middle of the plates, they'd look stupid.
Lakin Plates are awesome!

or just drill some holes in the middle of the plate as the dealer has done when they put the plates on the car, heaps easier without having to put on an adaptor plate and have a yukky plate around it.

The beauty of Lakin Plates is that you don't need a cover, mine don't have covers. Plus not everyone wants to drill through the middle of their $500+ personalized plates...
