Number plate help

Im wanting to move the number plate from its usual place, and not sure where to put it.
Does anybody have any ideas? I would like to remove it at shows so needs to come off quite easy.

Some people use them on here who have smoothed grilles. They are usually a specific type

Use either N35 Neodymium magnets (from eBay, linky below to the ones I've got) or Double Sided Suction cups (eBay too, linky below to the ones I bought). I have an American smoothed grill and have both types, suction ones on the car and a magnet plate in the boot in case the other one goes AWOL.
IIRC it will be illegal to place the Number Plate anywhere else than its current position, can't remember why now.

^^^^ yeap, and that's plenty, more than strong enough. If you get the magnets, you'll need at least 12. 6 for the plate and 6 for the reverse of the grill, I used 8 + 8.
