British Customs Number Plates

Hello..has anyone else bought the BC number plates and had a hard time getting a "tight" fit? The bottom portions of the plates bolt in nicely but the top portions just rest on the two little pegs very loosely. They rattle quite a bit when on the road and don't mount nearly as snug as the OEM side covers.

Is it just me?

Do you need to use the rubber grommets from the OEM side covers?

Yep I have them. You need to transfer your stock rubber grommets off the factory side covers and put them into the holes on the number plates.
