hows your front number plate fixed on?????

[slammedresto]

had us plates previously on brackets fixed to the bumper

now got uk plates for the new bus, seen lots of peeps with em mounted abover the front bumper, on the front panel, stupid question.....

but how have you fixed em, sticky tape?? or screwed to the front panel???


my old plate

how i want the new plate mounted

I assume it would be double side tape.
My front badge is held on with the stuff. Its like a 2mm foam with glue stronger than the pull of gravity

Drilling holes in a front panel doesnt appeal too me.

Duck tape do a number plate specific tape which to be honest is just foam double sided tape used once after I caught some fecker nicking my plate, lost the screw hed already removed it stayed on for three years and even survived the head on smash I had in France...

cheers guys, thought so.......sounded to easy :lol: :lol:

I drilled my front panel. :?

Still, it is a repro front panel which I fitted. Not too worried about having done so.

edit: just to be clear, I probably wouldn't drill an OG front panel. Double sided tape or similar would be preferable.

double sided foam tape, altho' mine's coming apart, so if you find somewhere that sells it, let me know, gerry

 

[olance]

Dare I say it but HALFORDS is the place to go. They sell the spongy anti gravity matter at their number plate dsepartment funnily enough. That's what I've used and had no problem s front or back.

You've been lucky - it should be on the outside! Eventually you'll come accross a copper with some spare time...

You mean they do venture from the services coffee machines and donut stands....

I got the Duck tape version from Woolies, quite fortunate it was under the multi storet carpark that I was parked in when the thieving get tried to nick my plate.... Thers enough to do two plates atleast..

Hi,

I've got mounts on the bumper for the plate i just dont like how it looks if i get stopped i'll just say it kept falling off on the journey so i put it in the window for the time being!

I drove it for 4 weeks with one US plate on the back and nothing in the front at all.

My sons van (split scrren) failed an MOT cos the front number plate was inside and not mounted outside.

halfords it just far to exspensive for my liking

I agree - always good to build a relationship with your local motorfactors instead!
