Velcro + number plates.. issues ?

[TheEvilGiraffe]

I know a few people use velcro to stick the plates on .. just wondering for peace of mind if anyone has ever had issues like them falling off, or being stolen ?

Obviously a passer by can't tell if a plate is stuck on with superglue, or something less permanent but I'm a little worried TBH :S

Considering a private plate for the new bus, and some showplates for a giggle too. Also when cleaning, it makes life much easier to whip them off and scrub the paintwork !

Thoughts, comments, suggestions ?

Thanks...

I've never had any issues, they make it look a lot cleaner for photos too.

If they get nicked, they get nicked.

Also try not to let your mates know that they are velcro'd on, I got pulled for having my rear plate on upside down, my own fault for not checking it.

Was they a bit skeptical about having velcro plates lol ?

Fair enough chaps... I suppose if someone's going to nick it for petrol theft/bank robbery, a personal plate is a bit less generic and won't blend into the background so much.

If someone's gonna nick your plates, they'll do it no matter what it's held on by. I've had no problems apart from a select few thinking it's funny to turn them upside down EVERY TIME I see them.
