Alternatives To Front Number Plate Surround

Post by Iain » Sat Oct 15, 2016 12:37 pm

So....finally got around to ordering smaller front plate with obligatory statement underneath......

Before I get out the dremmel; have seen a few, the merlin+ R6 JWW, as an example with no number plate surround

Any clue how the plate is stuck on? can't be double sided Velcro...can it? Would save me cutting the surround in half...

Cheers guys. :bigwave:

Yes mine is held on with velcro allowing me to easily take it on and off for shows.

Any issues with it when its given a bath? Costco do some great 3M double sided Velcro but for hanging pictures - might try with that in addition to trying the double sided tape.

No trouble. It states on the packet can be used outside. And had no issues with very high speeds.

Nah. I always giggle every time I drive at speed. Thinking I wonder if I'll get pulled for furious driving as Mr Fish did. Pmsl.

I just hope you don't get Constable Angry leaning in though your window getting furious about it.

I'd furiously poke his eyes out if he did that and made my baby girl cry. :biggrin2:

Voila - gave up with the double sided tape - didn't want to cut down the middle and glue it back together again - so chopped off the edges to fit!! 2mins!! Just need a new one when it comes re-sale time. I know, I know about the Quattro badge - wasn't spending a grand on a new grille!!
