How it your numberplate held on?

[Tomitytom]

For those of you who have purchased a custom or normal plate from fancyplates, do they come with 2 fixing screws and the plate pr-drilled, or do they come with tape or something? (do you get options when ordering?). A while ago i was thinking to get a 520 x 85mm plate, but dont want any hassle from da rozzers. So then i planned to get a standard plain plate to get rid of the manufacturers writing at the bottom.

Just wondering how, and what you use to hold on your plates?

Tar :approve:

Velcro.

Get a 3/4 plate for the front. Know quite a few people who have them and never had a problem with the police.

Bought mine from fancyplates. Came with a set of stickypads IIRC, that's what I used. Looks much smarter instead of the screws imo.

Mines held on by hopes and dreams. Oh and some screws.

Sticky fixing pads from Halfords, hate having screws in number plates and hate the dealers name being displayed.:approve:

This ^^^^

I didn't trust the pads that cam from fancy plates but I may be wrong. They also provide yellow, black and white screw end caps if you decide to screw them in.

The pads that come with the plates from fancyplates are pretty good tbh.

Fair enough, have to admin the velcro was bought and on the car before I tipped the packet up to find the fixings from fancy plates fall out of the other end, so never actually tried them!

Velcro.

Nice idea, Would velcro be strong enough though?

Got some fixing pads from Halfords myself, their about £3 a pack, hate using sticky pads because its a pain when it leaves adhesive behind.

Yeh i dont like the dealer name/s at the bottom, ugly.

Ive seen alot of numberplates with no screw attachment and wondered what was used instead.

I drilled my 3/4 front plate and used the screws and caps that came with it. They are hardly noticeable from a distance.

Heavy duty double sided tape, the last ones that were velcro'd got nicked.

 

[Fraser.J.]

Any Velcro I can find!

 

[Tunst]

Was velcro but then my mates found out and decided to swap my plates around or hide them.. So niw they are held on with some strong stickyback tape

 

[Kelv]

Trim tape for the front, rear is held on with 2 screws.

 

[Joe#]

Velcro. Comes in handy when I'm cleaning the car too.

Bought a roll from local car factors,dark green one side same as the seperate pads you can buy,cut four pieces widthways and still loads left

 

[Ray Gin]

I use the force to hold mine on.

I did wonder about the security side of velcro, easily nicked then? lol. :dapprove:

Velcro.

 

[jesus]

Velcro coins. I need something stronger though as my r****d mates keep pulling it off, and the velcro is starting to unstick from the car body.

 

[Sam]

I used to use velcro but I think I got a bad batch and it fell off.

I now just used some double sided sicky tape.

+1 I got pulled over a few weeks back because my idiot neighbour decided to turn my front plate upside down lol!

 

[Tomitytom]

Haha ^^

I'll definitely use double sided tape for the rear as ill never need to take it off. I just cant decide what to do about the front
