Pichon's Plate Holder Review

[John577]

I used 2 screws, one each side in the middle of the plate.
Yeah, doesn't look that bad, but screwed on the bumper ...

Anyone seen the ford oem eu holder in real life? Any decent photos? I'm thinking just screw it and stick with what's 'original'...

Notes/New Mustang England solution seems to mount the plate at a slight angle downwards - not sure that is legal ::

I haven't given them any specific instructions, I'll post a pic of what I have on Thursday.

My plate fitting is certainly legal....;)

Yes maybe in EU/Germany... Who knows what whacko regulations they have up here

 

[Notes]

Here's the result from yesterday mod with NewMustangDE plate idea.
One small issue, I used the tape from the holder as well and now I can't slide the plate anymore. (not the brackets, just the plate) It's a bit to much to the left and I'm a perfectionist so to speak :frusty:

But it looks good

it look beautiful! :clap2:

Notes, what type of VHB tape have you used? I'm looking on amazon but there are many different types.

 

[gojensen]

My problem to! And nobody seem to sell 3m vhb up here - all I got was some tesa professional, but I don't feel the need for 10m

Though I really liked that [MENTION=15011]Pichon[/MENTION] holder left the plate slightly lowered...

Tape: 3M VHB 5952F http://www.amazon.de/3M-doppelseiti...&qid=1440509382&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=5952F

Brackets: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0040FVB5O?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

Also note to clean the surface very well, I used window cleaner as I didn't have the 3M cleaning wipes. Also using it the way I did takes time and measurement, not an easy job.
Putting them in place with 2 screws would be the easiest way but like John say's... " then you screw your bumper" :doh:


What I also noticed today is that you only need to tape the sides (not like I did in the picture) and one part of the bottom or top (as you like), since the bumper seems to be a bit curved or rounded.
So today I saw that the top part of the tape was loose already from rain and tension.

I will redo it later this week, getting the tape off works with window cleaner and time/patience... or gently cut it with dental floss.

I still like the idea, but 2 test out of 2 have proven that it's to heavy and we both have slightly damaged bumpers now. Also read my previous improvement suggestions...

I found a webshop in NL that does, but only per roll of 33 meter :headbonk:

Thanks, strange that in Italy it's cheaper!

I can't use that plate holder because our front plate are smaller.. I'll simply tape the plate on the bumper

I was in doubt between 5292F (powder coated surface) and and 4952P, "for low energy substrates eg. PE or PP"

Don't you have Amazon in NL or in Norway? I'm always shocked when Italy is ahead to some other countries :eyebulge:

Just go Amazon, cheapest and easiest. I went to 2 recommended dealers by the 3M website and both didn't have any in stock + could only order 33 meters indeed.

I used the amazon.de and translated the parts of the checkout page that I couldn't understand.
Amazon.nl is only books and stuff... and amazon.com will checkout in the US, so higher shipping fees, longer waiting times + custom fees on higher priced orders. Long live translators;)
