Number Plate Attachment???
 
Hi Guys,

Well as per the title really, In your opinion and past experience which is the best way to attach number plates?

I have just received mine from Designaplate (with club logo on :lol:).

The rear is the D shaped one so slightly heavier, front as per norm.

Anyone?

I put mine on with double sided tape i put extra on the back one as you say its heavy than the front one, so far they have been fine.

I used the pukka pads for the motorists' shop for the rear, but I used double the amount suggested. I have to admit I used screws for the front, it's not as obvious, and it's slightly curved.

Thanks Malcom,

I was just worried that the pads on their own for the rear plate would not suffice.

I was curious to see if someone out there had a special way of attaching them. As I really do not want to drill holes in them...

Thanks again,

Carl:D

No more nails on a roll will do it just fine. I tried double sided tape and sticky pads and prefer this method.

Cheers Bluey,

Just wondering what type of roll you mean?

Cheese, bacon, egg, ham :getmecoat:

I fitted mine using number plate screws with a black cap in between the two Ts in the ZTT part :D

The best 'retail' double-sided self adhesive foam tape for this job is Sellotape's Sticky Fixer Strip 25mm x 3m roll. Used on a properly prepared (cleaned) panel, this stuff is unbeatable IMHO.
