I hate those number plate lights.

My RVC trim turned up and in preparation for painting, I thought I'd strip every off it.

One light removed fine but the 2nd one did not.
One screw snapped and I ended up destroying the other light to remove the screw but failed.
That screw snapped off as well.

So I dropped the plinth off to my mate and hopefully he'll be able to remove the screw and re-tap the threads.

When I got this back from painting, my normal rear plinth will be up for sale, just in case any one wanted it or if you want, you can send me yours and I'll see if my mate can remove your broken screws and retap the threads.
