Velcro'd on plates

[Pep]

Got a 3/4 plate coming for the front of the car, but want to velcro it on so I can swap it round easily enough to the standard plate.

Will normal stuff still work, sticky stuff on each side?

Sure I've seen some people on here with them?

 

[makavelli]

go to halfords and buy a pack of velcro heavy duty sticky coins

they are around 3.50 for a set of 4 so will sort you out for the front and back, the velcro is very strong, holds summut like 2kg's iirc

ive been using them for a few years and they are really good

 

[VeinAST]

Heavy Duty velcro is the way to iirc

EDIT: Beaten to it

 

[makavelli]

you can see one side of the coins here:

they also keep the paintwork nice and clean as sticky pads proper fook it up

Yellow & black pack from b&q, get the strip one, where you cut off what you want.

 

[Pep]

Nice one, thanks.

Hopefully get the plates on Friday, just need to get the private plate swapped over now!

 

[Pep]

Appreciate the help
I love your car Makavelli!

[Pedro]

Just got my new plates on this week. Went from the horrible double-sided pads to those velcro coins as above.

I have 6 on each plate!

these actually hold up at high speeds, all weathers etc? getting some new plates and dont wanna screw them on. will also make it easier for cleaning purposes.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Works here for both plate and tags

 

[Ali]

Does the plates not stick out a bit?

 

[123stevevw]

Without being all serious! Isn't a plate supposed to take a certain amount of time to be removed by law? To help towards plates being stolen?

Just something I heard a while ago, may be bullshizzle!


Edit;

After googling it, it seems someone has tried filling me with bull....

I use Velcro and iots held upto every Weather Condition thrown at it..... Passed MOT, Police Stops etc. with no problems

 

[m4rkie23]

sure the pressed plates didnt survive the police stops tho.......

 

[richy22]

^^^ Crap I keep meaning to get my rear one done like that.. currently have this on the front

Just held on with sticky tape for now although getting some velcro tonite from b and q to sort it properly.

 

[Coby.]

sure the pressed plates didnt survive the police stops tho.......

Certainly did..... Since fitting I've had no problems at all anywhere..... Road Side Stops, MOT the works.... Never a mention

 

[m4rkie23]

how much was the pressed rear? if it passes MOT and is police stop legal, sounds tempting. have you got front too?

 

[mossyv6]

Yeah no problems, had them on the vee for ages and no problems.

Also good for people who cant put plates on straight using a drill

 

[richy22]

Hope he dont mind me answering!

They are from dubmesiter dude

And select the following options...

Obviously for the rear just change that option and use the same options as above

 

[m4rkie23]

cheers. i want the correct sized (for the front bumper) front plate. im sure they only do standard sizes on there tho yeah

 

[richy22]

When you say correct size? Do you mean normal ones?? Or do you mean one to fit in the recess??

You can get LEGAL pressed plates from them but they are £29.99 a set and you have to send all your documents off.

http://www.dubmeister.co.uk/

click on UK LEGAL plates on the left hand side, then click "buy direct from this site"

There a palce you can get custom pressed plates from if you wanted a smaller one although I cant remember the name of it.

 

[m4rkie23]

yeah one to fit the recess. dont reali fancy spending £60 on them lol!would be nice tho.

 

[richy22]

I just got the normal one from fancy plates, well the one to fit in the recess anyway. And am going to get a pressed rear one from dubmesiter.

By the way that should be £29.99 a set not each as I put

 

[m4rkie23]

lol. £30 aint too bad for a set of pressed legal plates at all

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

whats the deal with 3/4 plates you can get done cant you... its daft really, i mean i understand having a proper plate on the back incase u get pulled, cameras etc etc but the front doesnt really matter, i mean bikes dnt have them so...

 

[Coby.]

As Richy has said I have Front aswell

UK Font, UK Spacing and a Badge and I've not had 1 word mention ed to me by the Authoritiese in regards to them

Mine are NOT Legal but I have no problems with them

 

[m4rkie23]

you got any pics of your car from a distance so you can see the car and plate?

 

[Coby.]

Not the Clearest but hopefully give you an idea

 

[richy22]

What a heap

 

[Coby.]

It is now

Respray needed badly but no fundage to do it.... Dam you insurance

 

[m4rkie23]

looking good mate!!!!!

 

[richy22]

Mine needs that too Respray that is. Off Topic I got the sticker and left you some feedback xxxx

 

[kevin.s]

wouldnt people nick your plates if they are only held on by vecro?

 

[richy22]

Yes if they are sad enough.

 

[Coby.]

They could BUT they could also just Unscrew them from any car if they are on a Number Plate Stealing Mission

 

[jonathanedew]

If the plates have the makers name and the BS mark on it then I suppose it must be legal?
