Heavy duty velcro pads from my local DIY store! they been on ages they work a treat

sticky pads from halfords should do the job just fine

i got loads and loads of stickey pads and cleaned both surfaces first but they kept peeling off after a few days or very most a week.

i drilled 2 holes in mine and screwed them on best way least u know they arnt coming off.

or plate surrounds wish i got them straight away.

I got some of that "no more nails" adhesive pad stuff..I ain't tried it yet though :lol:

I used sticky pads.. took a load of paint off though when i took the plates off. Iv Now got surrounds.

Fail.

Plate surrounds. Wouldn't dream of drilling the plates.

after witnessing sticky pads melting if the car is left in the sun, i settled for drilling.

and il do the same to the private plate, but put it on the bottom of the bumper:). will help make it look like what i want it to say.convience of locating a black bolt lol.

Iv sold someone on here some 3M dual core stuff i get from my work. Its used for mounting sensors under and in race cars so it must be pretty strong. If you want a strip send me a PM.

Plate surrounds, easier to swap between legal and show plates I find. Wouldn't think of drilling them!

the back of the surround is riddled with holes, you use the exsistin holes that fixed you are old plates with, then u clip you are plates into yourr new surround :-D

^^ Sorted geezer.

Plan on getting some lockable one for the raddo when i get it. Means with the aid of key you can pop the holder open and switch plates, the clip in ones are all well and good til you snap part of the clips.
