Number plates - no screws

Postby canberrachris » Tue May 10, 2011 9:11 am

Hey guys
I hope this hasn't appeared on the Forum before, I did do a search but couldn't find anything...

I get new number plates in a week or two, but I don't want to screw them on. Is there a type of double-sided tape for this?

What're the alternatives to using screws?

Thanks
Chris

My front number plate has Velcro holding it on. I have 8 that are about 25mm in diameter that are sticky on one side and Velcro on the other. I have bend my number plate to the shape of the bumper too.

My number plate has never come off.

I like it because you can not see any screws and it is easy to take off when cleaning the car.

Hmmm... swang by Super Cheap Auto, had a chat to one of the guys there (was pretty laid back and seemed sure of his advice) and he sorted me out with some double-sided tape he said was standard for attaching plastic number plates without any screws.

Thanks Troy, appreciate the response.

Many members have used cable ties (zip ties, whatever you want to call them) to attach their number plate to the grill. Just another option that looks good.

You should have a look at some 3M Dual Lock tape. They're like Velcro, but are incredibly strong and stiff. Not sure if this is what Troy is using.
