Sons girlfriend came the other day in her new car, my son sitting in with her as she is still a learner.
Anyway the car looked dirty and needed a wash and polish. I offered to do this, when washing it I found the magnetic L plate had scratched the bonnet quite a bit.
Looking at the car its a Peugeot 107.there seems to be a lack of good places to mount the L plates.
I suppose could use a one on stickers in the back window ( would this be a good idea?)
Any better ways of mounting L plates that does not damage the paint work?
In my day we tied them to the chrome bumpers no damage caused.
Cheers

Below the reg plate possibly depending on clearance

My daughter's 107 has a stick on L plate on the rear glass hatch and a a magnetic on on the bonnet.
The rear one is fine but I couldn't find a better way of putting one on the front.

How about getting a square piece of paint protection film fitted where the L plate goes?

When she’s finished with the L plates, you can just warm it up with a hairdryer and peel it off.

That is a good idea. I've also seen damage with the magnetic plates - even taping plates on would be better.

I used a hard plastic one for a bike on our Cactus for the front, drilled two holes each side then looped a cable tie around and into the grill and round, 2 mins to fit, 2 secs to remove with side cuters
