Have you/would you risk sticking on front number plate?

Hello all, my Chimaera is the later one with the split grill. Am in the process of getting a personalised registration transferred onto the car and I have always favoured the 3D carbon plates that Demon Plates do.

The trouble is that these plates do not take kindly to screw holes and I'm worried that sticking them on is a bad idea unless I move the location of the plate:

When doing a little search earlier I found a link to some strong looking tape on Amazon but I'm looking for opinions/experiences before I take the plunge and order a set of these plates.

Thanks in advance

Mount the plate a little lower and stick it top and bottom bridging the bottom aperture? That's how mine's done and it's been secure enough

That is definitely a consideration. Do you have a photo you wouldn't mind sharing or PMing me?

Have used industrial velcro (30mm width) on numberplates for years with no problem, but you need a decent surface area. If fixing to the narrow bar try double sided 3M acrylic VHB (very high bond) tape. Its used by most automotive manufacturers for attaching trim etc to painted surfaces instead of screws/ clips.

But beware - once its on you'll have a tough time getting it off again!

Last lot I got was from RS Components. Its not cheap but you won't need much....

I went for this stuff having searched a similar thread on here earlier
