Fitting numberplates
« on: July 06, 2013, 09:50:11 am »
Just got some pressed plates, but not sure on the best way to fit. The existing plastic plates are just held with sticky fixers.

Should I use self tappers and go through the plate and bumper? Or stick 'em? Or a combination of both?

Thanks

I used heavy duty velcro from halfords. That stuff is really really strong.

What ever you do use, make sure you clean the surface down properly with some car shampoo and then wipe down using white spirit.

Don't drill your nice new plate, stickers/Velcro/magnets :happy2:

Stickers if your not bothered about removing for shows etc. magnets if you are.
