How do you get the number plates off?

How do you remove the front and rear number plates?
I presume they are stuck on, so a good pull will do the job.
I am always a bit wary of giving things an almighty shove / pull......

Thanks Chaps,
Yes, there are no visible fixings on mine, I think they must be attached with the sticky stuff.
I will 'gently' give them a pull.

Sure did Bob, I decided to put a different plate on it. I didn't like the previous reg.

Incidentally the plates that are on there are the same length as usual, but 120mm wide, which is a bit wider than norm.

Fancyplates.com are pretty good, and had them made up there.

Mike.

Also, I drove an XJR the other day, and older one than mine, I think an N reg, God what a beast, I was genuinely impressed, and quite a difference to mine.
I think I will be saving up then.....

I know what you mean Mike about the 'R' with Company car tax as it is, I think I will opt out next time round so the Merc could well become an XKR or if I'm being practical an XJR, I will probably still keep the the XJS convertible for the 2 -3k miles a year I do in it. You should try 12 pots sometime, smoooooooooooth Bob. :I must stop looking at Racing Green though!!:

I would love an XJS Convertible, but unfortunately with 2 small mini-me's and wifeys golf I will have to wait a bit.
I could not believe the xjr, I must admit, the straight six sounded nicer than my V8.
But then again, it had a hoofing great supercharger on it.
Funny old thing, it was in Racing green, I think it is a top colour for an XJ.

This makes all the difference

Now I really have to get one.

[silverback mike]

very nice indeed

That's the one Pete.
I must get one, the xj8 sport will be a good compromise until then.
I don't think I would mind going for an earlier one either, I was completely bowled over.
