I recently picked up some new slimline plates but can't for the life of me connect the holes on the plate to the holes on the 8. They are mismatched so I can only get one screw in.

I have seen other 8's who have successfully put both screws in by using a plate frame. The stock plate frame at the front of the car fits the standard size and is ugly on the slimline plate.

Does anyone know where to get those slimline plate holders?

I had to redrill the mounting holes in the number plate itself.

All is good then

Get rid of the stock plate holder altogether and do what Gibbo suggested.

Here's mine...

I had to re-drill mine as well. The factory holes are JDM Spec

I modified my large plate holder and attached the slimline plate to it.

screwdriver
sharp knife

time taken: 45 minutes (sue me.... i am slow sometimes)
