Hi,
Have you actually taken the plate off yet?
From the factory they were secured by four 6mm (i think) philips headed screws, these screws seize in their respected captive threads and can be a real pain to remove.
You should get a number plate holder from your main dealer for next to nothing.
Can,t recommend anywhere for the plates but type 'metal number plates' into google brings up a couple of likely places.
