novel ideas on front number plates

**shimmy** · 07-03-2010, 08:29 AM

anybody got any clever way of taking front plates on and off without leaving either number plate holes or loads of velcrow showing

I take it this comes from a previous thread regards to posting pictures up on the net of broken cars

Blue Tack works well, only problem is you can not drive over 30mph

Velcrow is the best I've tested mine with speeds over 165mph

tbh it wasnt, just thinking about running with no front plate again at all

did it most of last year but put it back on for MOT

just wondered if there were some good ways

car looks better when its off. had mine off for about 6 months before getting a slap on the wrist

. i have a 3/4 plate on now and have had no problems (not that mine is a import but i think they are allowed on imports).

like the velcrow solution maybe with a bracket to underneath as well.

dont like the californian solution using the towing eye as just as likely to get pulled by the Babylon with a small or off centre plate and rather than £30 fine it would be 3 points

have you noticed that with white cars it is not so obvious that a plate is missing (doesnt look as wrong)
