I’m getting on a bit now so I have bought a few new cars in my time.
I haven’t found a dealer yet that can fit number plates to an acceptable standard. All but one have been misaligned (i.e. not straight), the one that was straight was cracked, so no prize there either.
My dealer in Milton Keynes used to fit number plate holders that the un-drilled plates then fitted into neatly. Presumably to save a few quid they stopped doing that a couple of years ago, instead they butchered the plates by drilling them without supporting the reflective backing and fasten them to the car with ugly screws offset and misaligned as per usual. The screw holes on mine were already allowing moisture to delaminates the number plates after just two months so I have fitted Wurth number plate holders and new plates.
I think they finish the car as it should be.
