Kuro Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Having just received my new 'euro spec' number plates in preparation for our Ring trip, what the best way to attach the front one..? I'm thinking about sticking it on, so as not to drill a hole in the Euro flag bit on the left, as this might end up looking pants Is this possible, or there a chance it may fly off on the autobahn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoREoD Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I used velcro strip (half inch wide x 4 two inch pieces) PLUS two screws in top corners to stop it peeling at speed. Get screw caps to match the plate colour where the holse are going to be (which is one reason I had my euro details done on a black background!).

sinbad Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I used sticky pads. Looks smart. You in any rush to get them? when do you go the ring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoREoD Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 p.s. Interestingly (or not!), when the flood water hit the front it was the whole numberplate assembly I lost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I've got heavy duty sticky velcro straight onto my front bumper. That way when I sell the car I can velcro another plate in it's place without having to get it off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Ok, so the consensus seems to be that using stickies is ok, and the wind will not (probably) rip the plate off Ok, where do I buy these heavy duty thingies then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I got a great big strip of it off ebay for about £4 and it came next day. Just put heavy duty velcro in the search. I think someone else has used no more nails on a roll and you can get that from B&Q although it doesn't look as strong it might be ok.

Kuro Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Thanks Slightly off topic but why do you call your Zed 'Nemo'...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Because................. it took me ages to 'find' one it's same colour as a goldfish and unfortunately it's been swimming........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Mine too It all started when my wife mixed up the words Nismo and Nemo, and mentioned to her parents that "he'll spend all of his time fitting Nemo bits to it, just like he did the Subaru!" Which was fine until we lost the Zed in a huge car park at RAF Fairford, which resulted in a panicked looking bloke (me) wandering around murmuring "Nemo?" just like the movie...
