Okay, someone tw*ted the back of my car a few weeks back then it was fixed but they forgot the dint in the boot lid. Got that repaired today and noticed there was something loose rattling around inside the boot lid and there were two dints above the number plate. The bodyshop said that these were spot welds and that the number plate was too low. So they said they would sort it. I had to take the thing apart to remove the rattling item because they seem to have forgot that aswell! So I take the number plate off to see what the idiots had done, and they had drilled two holes in the boot lid - one that overlaps. Why did they do this? Surely they should have replaced the factory bits and put it back in the center? Now I have two holes without any rust protection, surely this isnt the right way to do it? They have really annoyed me and I thought they were good esp when its a feckin renault dealer.

Take it back!!! Take ya plate off and show them. b******s!
As above.
Ive taken it back 3 times now and on the last visit they seemed as though I was being petty about it. There doesnt even seem to be a manager down there, only two blokes that asses cars and the bodyshop mupets. How does the number plate actually fit on normally because there are two big holes for the factory installed bit? Maybe I should get the insurance company not to pay them. The guy thats sort-of incharge is on holiday and I dont know if this is supposed to be correct proceedure or what.

if its a new tailgate it might have two holes in it anyway - cause this is where reno are supposed to rivet on the number plates
