fixing front plates question...?blue tack
Discussion
hi all
having spent the best part of 2 hours removing all of the adhesive foam from the front bumper, i am now keen on the nude look....as much for photographs and not having to photoshop....
not keen on driving without front plates.....
has anyone tried blue tack, or better, does anyone know what that stuff it is they use to hold your credit card to the letter...

Can you really see Blue tack holding a plate on at motorway speeds?
no, hence the question....one half of the velcro will need to be stuck on the bumper though...

3M makes a double sided tape that looks and feels a bit like the credit card sticky stuff. It is clear and the backing tape is red. There's no residue when you remove it.
sounds like what i need... will investigate... thanksthe stuff i removed left no residue, it was just a pain to remove, using a hydrocarbons based product, looking through the 3m stuff, not sure this stuff just rolls off like the credit card glue....
there is quite a big thread in general gassing on rolling with no plates... anyone here done this? are the BiB more forgiving if it is exotica? can you get away with a plate fixed to the sun visor?

You are driving a car not a fashion statement. Why buy a car and behave like you do? I really don't get it....

stated, whilst driving i am keen to comply with the law and wear front plates....i've brought the reg L4MVO and had new plates made up....
i am simply keen for when taking photos and at shows like wilson house being in the position to remove the plates with a minimum of fuss and effort FFS
70proof,i use 3m heavy duty velcro ,fluffy side on car.
The benefit of a black car is the velcro is less visible when the plate is removed.
Seems your plate has few digits ,like mine,i trim the left and right excess off the plate.
Which i think looks better.
Two screws is the best way but drilling holes would make me sick,that said you could get some small
caps to go on the screw heads ,paint them green, when the plate is off.
cheers
