The rear plate needed to be pushed into the car and at the same time then slid to one side. It was mounted on some conical bolts with a stiff flexible piece of metal providing tension.
The front plate was simply me being a wimp, I needed to detach the lower half of the plastic frame more forcefully
The dealer has sent me some magnetic gizmo so it makes swapping between the two cars easier in future, but really, it involves screwdrivers and so I think he will have to send a mechanic from St Gallen to sort it out
I'm disgusted that this should even be allowed in Switzerland, think of the poor locals you might upset who are out hiking or cycling in the countryside while you are off joyriding your death-trap, mutilating the environment as you go!
I sincerely hope you aren't a member of that petrolheads forum that i've heard about!
Surely you should be swapping the plates from your Lambo to a proper car like a Toyota Prius. Then I won't have to put up with that noisy v12 that keeps driving through my nice quiet village - well unless fasnacht is on
I refute that absolutely. The enjoyment is to drive within the speed limits through the beautiful countryside with the burble of a cultured petrol engine, taking in the smell of top-grade Italian leather & the nibblyness of the finely-honed steering, Abba on the ipod, all the time waving at the dangerous lunatics in their Toyota Piouses broken down by the side of the road
