I have a 95 plate and the number plate is on the grill , how easy is it to take it off there and put it on the lower valance I have seen a few with this, does it aid cooling putting it there and how do you fix it to the valance

It's easy and all done with self tapping screws, could make number plate more vulnerable to braking or damage putting it lower down.

I've done this but used sticky backed velcro. Any curb or speed hump knocks cause no probs that way.

Mine is on withe DS tape and is fine, very secure.
IMHO it looks alot better lower down mounted, about 50/50 mounted on the lower bar under the grill mesh.

I think velcro sounds a good option too.

What's wrong with where it is? Cooling should be OK on a properly sorted car.

Nothing to it.....



Drill two small pilot holes then screw in using normal number plate screws.
Mine sits at a slight angle but this has never been a big problem.
I did rip it off once, but this was a one off as I reversed over a gate post that just caught it and once ripped off the threads woulded hold so I had a wingnut on the back until I had it filled at a front end respray. paperbag
