Number plate fitting

[DazG]

Good Afternoon people

Got some new plates that I would like to fit to my car but the damn screws are not coming out? Anyone come across this, any ideas how to remove them?

Thanks for the replies in advance :approve:

Some plates are riveted on, you may need to carefully drill the heads off them.

I think they are riveted on actually! I dont have any spare screws though

stick them on, look much neater, unless u need the screw heads for a personalised number plate, but could just superglue the screwhead covers onto the plate after sticking it on!

Cheers Coca Cola!

I think superglue would look better actually! Have to buy some now

i hate number plate screws unless they are there for a reason, like i said a persoanlised plate!

dont know why it does, i must have OCD!
winds me up when i drive behind cars with rusty screws!!!

I changed my plates on my 182 and the bloody screws were rusted and some had lost there heads so we ahd to snap the old plates and use pliars to remove the rest of the screws

Watch out with the superglue, its a pain in the a** to remove when you wanna switch the plates agen!

i meant superglue the number plate screw covers onto the plate, and use double sided foam tape to put the plate onto the car with!

i know what u mean about supergluing the actual plate on, could get messy!
