I assume its simply a case of bolting the plate directly to the brackets with M6 threaded number plate bolts but this puts the plate at quite an angle back at the bottom.

Where did you read/get told this?AFAIK there is no documentation or rules covering the angle at which a number plate has to be displayed.

It only has to be
'legible' and obviously conforming to the usual formatting, shape and size guidelines.

Just think about all the production high performance and kit cars that have the number plate on the bonnet, pretty much facing upwards.
On my Mk1a I've actually pushed the plate back at the bottom so it's resting against the valance.![]()
Keeps it straight too!

When it was fixed in place, it was fixed with cable ties to the airdam cover.AFAIK, this is MOT legal too.
