I have checked out the one i am picking up and noticed its got a sticker for the front number plate instead of a plastic one.

Is this common? Also i am putting a private plate on it? Are these hard to remove without damaging paint work?

Hi, I would say on balance more T350's have stick on plates than plastic and certainly IMO, it's looks better that way. Pulling off a stick on plate will obviously depend on the specific type, but I recently pulled my plate off, no problem with paint, just the sticker broke into lots of pieces, and being sort of patient took bit over an hour to get it all off.

Suggestion to get the new stick on plate straight and level, assuming the current plate is straight and level, put some strips of masking tape around the edges to act as guides. Let me know were you get a plate from, I was not overly impressed with fancyplates stick-on, too thick so difficult to stick down.

I have used:

A1-plates.co.uk

They could do ANY specification i required and my front and back plates are odd sizes.. Just 1" smaller than normal. I have logos front and back and they were easy to deal with.

I am waiting for them to turn up this morning

I am not actually fitting the plates the garage i am picking the car up from is so they are ready and on when i get it. Lets hope they are level huh! LOL
