Sigh, just noticed that the numberplate was loose on the back of the car so removed it to fix it properly. Some idiot has put two lovely holes in the boot lid with a drill and used self tapers to fix it instead of the four holes that the factory put there for them.
Why do people do this?? I now have two rusty holes to deal with - fortunately they just appear to be surface rust at present so will tackle them when I do my rear view camera as I will be removing the trim anyway.
Does anyone know the standard screw size that should be here for the four holes. They seem to be M6 but the thread pitch is wrong for everything I have at hand.
In case it matters - its a facelift W204 Coupe
