Does anyone know if the number plate frame as shown below comes pre-attached/drilled on the car upon delivery, especially in the UK?

The reason for the question is that I'm looking to put a narrower plate on my vehicle so didn't want the wide standard plate holder and associated holes drilled in the bumper.

Thanks,

I’m the same. 4digit number plate. I’ve asked the dealership to not fit the holder as I’ll be sticking mine on. So my understanding is the dealer fits the holder.

I used ‘no more nails’ sticky pads. You do get double sided pads from auto save but they kept losing there grip.

@Gogs , I don’t think that will work as the bumper is concave on the taycan with a sizeable,gap behind the plate.

you can see on the silver model the number plate holder fills quite a gap


if you look at Swiss Taycan in blue below, they have a small plate mount which I think would work.

@zurigo - would you mind measuring your plate mount and let us know he dimensions.

Mmm, might just get a sticker made then. Need to try it and see I guess. My mate can do me a vinyl sticker as a temporary measure just in case.

In the US the plate holder comes in the truck and is drilled by the dealer if customer wants. Confirmed twice at the dealer.

Thanks @Bikergal . Fingers crossed for UK deliveries as I think in the USA that certain states don't enforce front number plates ?? but in Europe/UK It's all rules and regulations!

I know the RR number plate comes in the trunk but a RRS is fitted at factory. Useless info in a Taycan forum. Going mad in isolation!
