Spotted this while browsing on fleabay. What's the obvious mistake? ??

This had better be good! I've wasted 10 minutes of my life looking and been to the original advert.
I've spotted nowt! ?

Keep it open til someone gets it m8?

Edit: To my eye, the rear plate looks ever so slightly on the wonk, but I don't think that's what your getting at.


Edit 2: Your not on about this anomaly are you?
Only shows up from the front.

Won't drag it on any longer, yep the number plates, particularly the back one, more than slightly on the wonk! Jumped out at me straight away.
Either fitted by someone who had a few to many, the night before or Steve Wonder. ?
Bit of a pet hate of mine. No excuse. ?

There's no excuse for wonky number plates on the MG4 ... there are pre-drilled fixing holes on the car - you just need to drill the plates in the right place.

Easier said, than done. Obviously. ?

I bought a Toyota CHR for the wife in 2020 (DONT) and I laughed in the salesman's face on collection.

To quote @salty I said "Who the hell fitted that front number plate? Stevie Wonder!!"

It was refitted to my satisfaction before I drove it away.

And yes m8, that front plate is well out of order looking again.

I once took delivery of a new BMW 3 series (yes I know). Got home and was having a look around it and thought something didn't look right. I then realised the number plate was different to what they had allocated to it. The first two letters were the wrong way round! Immediately called them, they told me not to drive it and sent someone out to fit the correct ones!

Could not believe I did not spot that!
One of my pet hates!

I guess someone at BWM is dyslectic?

Never mind wonky plates a college of mine got a silver Merc and I got a black one on same day through a lease company. Only when they went back at 3 years was it spotted they had put his number plate on mine and via versa for mine. Our transport team perhaps should have realised when they ordered a new mirror for mine and it came silver.

My dad used to tell the story of the apprentice mechanic being told to fit the new plates to a row of cars. Because they were parked side by side you couldn't get between them so he picked up the front plates and went down the row fitting them. He then went back down the row fitting the rear ones.
It was only after a customer noticed that his car had different plates front and back they realised what he had done. When fitting the rear ones he had started at the other end of the row.

Mine started to fall off and I noticed it was stuck on, not held on with anything else. I looked at a friend's Q4 and it was the same. How come some have screw fixings and some are glued on?!
