The sticky pads work fine as long as u've cleaned the dirt etc off of wherever you're stickin them 2. Washed the car with pressure washer a good few times and made sure a shot behind the plates. Didn't come off with that so i doubt they will at all.

My back plate is stuck on with sticky pads from halfords... has been for well over a year now, and the front is stuck on with side strip tape... It won't move, not even when you try pulling it off! Don't drill your plates, looks a mess!!!!!

haha really well when u take the plates off there should be a rectangle hole, with a movable screw hole, i fink my dad drilled into this part so the new screws supplied would fit he only used stickypads to stop them flapping out on the sides.

well, take off the old ones, sumtimes the screws may fit into the holes, but if they dont u may have to drill new holes (hopefully not), but stickypads will eventually come off, specially if a lil pikey comes along and rips them off

the ones in halfords are secure had my number plate on my nove stuck to boot for ages with em, had trouble gettin it off!

no no mate dont jus use sticky pads jeeze, right wat u need to do is drill two new holes onto the plates from the back, because when u remove the old ones there may not be ne room to screw them onto the bumper. I had to do this the other day, u only use the stickypads to support the plates while ure screwing them in.


AndyW

posted on 15th Feb 04 at 14:29

yup right sweet... i may go buy some more pads so i knows its really secure


Greg_M

posted on 15th Feb 04 at 14:25

you can stick them on with the sticky pads, as long as its secure its ok. halfords sell them to if you run out:thumbs:

sometimes looks better than two rusty screws in your nice pollished bumper:D

i bought some new numberplates the other day im about to go fit them...but do u have to screw them on?

with the plates i was supplied some screws and sticky pad strip things will the sticky pads hold the plates sufficiently on there own or do i need to drill n screw the plates too.??
