Jim 123 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I'm sure this has been covered before, but my searches have come up blank.I'm awaiting my Reg No from DVLA. I'd appreciate advice on the best method to fix my front and rear number plates. e.g. Bolts, velcro, chewing gum etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted May 31, 2016 Member Share Posted May 31, 2016 If I were doing mine again I'd take advantage of the hard-won experience of BlatChat and use very strong Velcro-type stuff.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_h34 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Presently awaiting some 3M Dual Lock for this very purpose, £6/m from eBay. I wanted removable as I'll have a proper plate and a 'show plate' with illegal spacing. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titanium7 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Velcro off fleebay! Never lost a plate yet and no damage to the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shn7 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Another vote for 3M Dual Lock.Toughest velcro type stuff I've found and kept both plates on my previous car for 8 years without problems whilst keeping the plates removable.One tip: If you do use it then separating the plate form the car is best done by inserting a flat bladed screwdriver between the two parts of the tape to start them separating. If you just pull either the car will follow you or the glue will give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john milner Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 When my front kept falling off I went for No More Nails tape or a very similar product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacken Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 No More Nails Interior & Exterior tape worked on my front plate. I bought the 19mm x 1.5m roll. The stuff CC used failed on the first windy day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 No more nails exterior DS tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 No More Nails exterior for me too. Been fine for the last 5 years. A bit more difficult to nick than a plate attached with Velcro I would imagine, but if you plan on removing the plate(s) regularly when on track then Velcro is probably a better option.

makingff Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 3m Velcro for me.Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim 123 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Thanks everyone for your feedback. Nuts and bolts look like they are certainly not the way to go. I'll give 3M Dual Lock a try on this occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
