JDM holder+13x7 inch front number plate - how did you attach yours?

Post by raptor95GTS »

without screwing it on? I'm looking to basically glue it on, I assume any Evostick type product will hold it well enough?

lots of places that sell plates online, also sell VERY strong double sided padded tape...

i used that with mine.
i think drilling/screwing on plates looks awful!!!

this stuff is available from WHSmith and the like, most even say "can use for number plates"

also alot quicker to do than measuring drill holes out.

nah jim, the number plate onto the holder - the holder is screwed into the bumper so its fine. I'm just a little nervous as I now have a double line front plate and I know it's going to overhang the JDM holder. Don't want the fecker to come off and break something on it's way to the scenery.

I missed a trick with getting the tape along with the number plates #-o

never EVER had an issue with the tape in all that time. holds solid as the day you put it on.

my rear numberplate is held on with a foam double sided tape i got (dont laugh) poundland and is very strong indeed held my plate for the last year and a half. :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft:
she's all comming together nicely now after a fair bit of cash spent, not bad for just an n/a now for some body kit i think.

I used aryldite (spelling?) works a treat!

I used the double sided tape before and a brief foray to the exiting side of 140 relieved me of the plate!!!

Glue it my friend

double sided foam tape from halfrauds - the thicker of the two on offer.

it works really well. just make sure you line it up straight...
