novel ideas on front number plates

[mole]

The place I hosted the pics closed down by the looks of it - will dig them out for you.

Was a nice solution, looked totally OEM but whipped off in seconds leaving a lovely clean bumper Tested on track to 170mph

Did you get a chance to dig those pics out Mole?

Really fancy this idea, these magnets good enough or do they need to be flatter?

I'll have to take it off tomorrow or something and check out how it can be fixed. Would be interested to see Mole's pics but I'm guessing he doesn't post anymore.

This is the sort of thing I used:

I will look again for my pics, but they could be one any of about 5 PCs/laptops

Brill, will buy them & do this :-)

Did you just glue the magnets in place?

Correct

So glued (Araldite) 3x magnets on the holder (behind the plate in the recess), then used double sided pads to fix the plate onto the holder. The middle magnet was fixed the other way round so the pole was the oposite to the ones on each side but you don't have to do this, just made it snap in place easier I found.

Then I covered 3 magnets in Araldite and whilst the plate holder was in place, slipped some magnets behind the bumper (could just get my hand behind there without removing it) this then held them in place until the glue had set. I then added another magnet to each of the 3 on the bumper to increase the strength and applied some silicone over the magnets. It probably wasn't the best looking job and if you took the bumper off you could make it neater but you couldnt see it all anyway behind the bumper!

Rich, hope you are getting out more lately and the TAG doesn't chaff
