I screwed the rear black number plate holder in place, but when i shut the boot it bangs it and for some reason looking at it, it doesnt seem flush with the lights.
Any ideas guys? Could the panel be for the wrong car?
it doesnt look as flush as this one below.

do you have to take the lights out to get it to fit flush?

Is it off a Salon?
Does it fit flush when not screw on?

theres nothing behind the panel holding it off, but i was thinking of putting sticky pads behind it.
do u reckon the sizes of the rear panel differ from a saloon, touring and a cab??
surely face lift is a face lift?

Your guess is as good as mine but shouldnt be? Maybe the Touring because its more Taller?
Do your lights fit flush / inline with the boot lid? in the middle... Could have a slight knock in it?
