These photos are not quite worthy of a new thread (save that for Saturday) but here she is...

What a beauty!

What about dual lock velcro ?

 

[SamH_]

I haven't found anything on the dvla/gov websites that specifically says they're illegal.

As long as they're otherwise legal i.e. correct font & spacing, I doubt the police would bother pulling you. As I said, mine would only be a sticker on the front so it's not like they'd get a prolonged look at it anyway.

Just need to convince the bloody to let me take the car without them fitting plates! :frusty:

when i was looking the other day the only stipulation i found was that the plate must be reflective, didn't see anything about not being allowed to use vinyl stickers

The Mustang I saw today had the front plate stuck on with velcro.

I'm confused.com... Why all this discussion about different types of number plates and those poxy mounting plates that come with the car?!?!

This is how my plates will be fixed on and not screw hole in sight!

Or did i miss the point somewhere? :headbonk:

As you can see from the pic above, the front bumper is curved in the middle so you'll either have to have more pads at each end of your plate, or heat the plate and bend it. Either way it will be a bit of a dirt trap.

Because some have gone for sto & sho, some have gone for adhesive pads(some are better than others)and some will get the supplied ones fitted.:shrug:

Nah, you've not missed the point mate. But if you buy cheap tape expect to be re-fixing it in a months time in our winter. Best bet 3M VHB tape. And don't forget to clean the plates and surface. This is what I'll be doing if my Mustang gets here ( Dec \Jan).

That's what I used to use...........now just use sticky pads. Works fine on my S197, and that also has a slight curve/crease in the front bumper.

I've used 'ebay' sticky pads before and they've been OK, but agree, they could have easily been useless.

I'm a bit scared of the VHB tape as I've heard (i.e. read on the internet) it's virtually permanent. Any experience in getting a plate off again?

Was thinking about that too... Why would you want too? You mean your going to sell your mustang? Kidding!

3M have thought of this too

They guarantee no damage to paint and enamel. If you do ever want to remove it.

If those wheels make you more nervous.

 

[Kiwimatt]

Finally from 3M you can use their citrus solvent and cling film.......who'd have thought it. That's a new one for me.
