Securing Number Plates :S

[Dan1587]

Whats the best way, I know a few people are going to say screws, but I want to use sticky tape. I want to buy the smaller plate from fancyplates but I don't want it to fall off
Any good ones people have found?
Of eBay or shops?

You being serious?
Just the normal stuff?

 

[Webby.]

Go to halfords. On the trade countery they willl have a little stand with 1mm or 6mm pads. Get 1mm for the front.

One either side of the plate and one in the middle.

I used the halford pads and they never budged.

My new plates will be halfords velcro'd on, using tape just now but verry messy when wanting take them off and pop them back on! Grrrrrr!

Halfords. I got 3M Heavy Duty Velcro from them. Works a treat.

Velcro works well, but my plates got nicked recently :S Using tape now.

Fancy plates send you the adhesive strips, they're more than ample

Velcro coins.

If someone wants the plates, whether they're held on wiuth blu-tac or araldite, they'll have them away.

Velcro .. 7cm circles IIRC .. strong stuff !!

Put the soft sides on the bodywork so you can clean the car without trashing cloths etc.

i used velcro and it was too strong. now when i try take my plates off the sticky bit from the car pulls away oops!

Years ago on my 106 i used heavy duty double sided tape all the way along the top and bottom lol looked ace then realised on the packet it says holds up to 9Kg, well those 5gram plates wont be moving.

Fancyplates send you stuff to stick it to your car.

I think it's been suggested... Velcro.

 

[Dan1587]

I guess Velcro would be a good idea, as im looking at getting a 3/4 plate, so i could keep the normal one in the boot incase the coppers weren't to kind to the plate
i would use tape but when cleaning id like to be able to remove them...!

And mate, if your plates have been nicked, do you think a phone call to be police would be a good idea? I mean they could be doing a bankjob or something?

 

[:( clios]

The stuff that comes with the plates from fancy plates is reallllllly good use that

I'm sure it's already been done, but if not, please do contact your local station, on the non emergency line. It is 99% certain that they will be used to cover their identity, with yours. Probably to nick fuel.
