Attaching Number Plates

[Chris_Cliomk1]

Right iv got my normal plates and a set of show plate.

What i want to know is the best way to attach the plates but allow me to change them quickly without having to scrape any s**t off the back every time i pull em off.

I used some velcro today which was strong but the sticky back came away from the velcro back and the thin sticky strip stayed on the bumper lol. So the velcro is strong as fook but shitty stuff.

Is it just that iv bought crap velcro or does everyone have this problem?
Any other ideas?

Heavy duty velcro is your best bet for switching between show pates and normal plates pretty fast.

where can i get that from?? i got the velcro iv got from a local A1 shop but duno if theres anything stronger.

Halfords at a guess or a local DIY shop should have the stuff,

halfords do the velcro discs which i use and there pretty good

I've always been told that using velcro for number plates was a a bit dodgy.

Just in case the police see, they may think that it's a quick and easy way to change number plates etc.... So the car looks like a different car.

I got velcro from Wilkinsons £2 ..make sure you clean any dust or grease off before you stick it or it will just peel back off.
Mine works a treat

Put velcro on your standard plates, obviously not over any letters, then stick your show ones over the top

sorted it now, cheers all. got some heavy duty velcro from local diy shop, cost me £7 but its mint stuff and its really strong. plates come off with a good pull and the velcro has stuck really well to the plates.
