Golf Mk IV Number Plate Removal

[CheekyChap]

I'm going to be selling my MkIV Golf TDi in a few months, and will be transferring my private plate off it and keeping it on retention.

Only question is the plates don't appear to be screwed on? Are they glued?

How do I take them off and fit new ones? Should I go crazy with the evostick?

Any help appreciated!

Double side foam tape is the normal way

So how to remove? Brute force + flat nose screwdriver?

Yep... but gently does it to avoid accidentally scratching anything you dont want to

Who knows, if I'm really careful I might be able to reuse the plates...

Thanks again for help!

Mine are screwed on

Warming it up with a hair dryer will soften the bond usually.

I'd better ask the ladyfriend nicely then...
