Attaching number plate to bumper

Matt21 · 15-02-2015, 07:09 PM

Need to attach my new number plates but the number plate holder for the front is not present.

Plan to stick straight to bumper. Can anyone recommend a good means to attach, normally find the sticky pads I get from halfords results in them falling off quickly!

Once the plates are on, inspection 1 carried out, new tyres and windscreen fitted it will be ready for some action!

Adhesive backed grey Velcro has done the trick on mine the past few years and not had any issues:

Go to any good car paint suppler and ask for trim tape its the best stuff to stick number plates on with
looks like this

Thanks. Assume that it won't damage bumper?

Or decent numberplate stickies from any Motorfactor local to you. I use minimum 3 but have seen me use 5 if I don't intend changing the plate over for the MOT.
