Front plate install

[Elapido]

I need to know how the front number plate is installed. Is it drilled to the nose of the car or is it fitted with by other method?

quite a few variants! I think the factory method is double sided foam tape in a line.

Some use velcro oftene the 3m stuff. I don't think many bolt it.

I use the double sided foam tape from halfrauds.

Double sided carpet tape, the rubber stuff perishes over time and falls aprt.

Best to use the proper stuff rather than carpet tape then!!

Sorry I should have said "the double sided foam that CC use perishes and the plate falls off, so use (good quality) double sided carpet tape" like what I do

never had that problem. I've used the halfords stuff and never had a plate come off.

My front plate appears to be screwed in place.

The rear one uses that "SuperVelcro" stuff (don't know the technical name, but it's not soft and fluffy like normal Velcro, it's more akin to Sticklebricks - if anyone remembers them!)

You're not using it right then.
