When i bought my car the front number plate was mounted on the grill mesh,which i imagine would restrict the air flow big time!?

I've had a look at a few of yours via your profiles{not a stalker honest} and can see that you can either have the sticker on the bonnet{clam] or mount it on the nose of the clam.

Can anyone advise on fixing the plate to clam nose,did you glue or screw?

any suggested methods much appreciated

cheers syd

Technically illegal and mucks up your paintwork - IMHO!

Your choice but ( obviously yikes ) go for stick-on and not a normal plastic plate won't you (yes, we did see a normal plate affixed to a Noble nose once!)biggrin

Alternatively shorten your plate's height and width as much as possible (or order cut to size (as they say: "for show car purposes only").

Providing you use the legal font, legal font size and legal spacing between characters, space between outside of characters and plate edge must be 11mm minimum, so a short plate can be cut down.

Mine is a posh vinyl sticker. Posh in that its made of the refective stuff and whilst technically illegal its not been mentioned yet by the BIB even though I was pulled with it on after a moment of over enthusiasm.
