Numberplate stickies

[svensktoppen]

The stickies for holding numberplates keep coming unstuck... Maybe it is the cold and wet...

What is the best to use, and where to buy?

use a hair dryer to heat them and the surfaces up when applying

Halfords do a green roll of number late tape, far superior to the normal white stickies and you can cut to desired lengths.

yeh thats a great trick for them ..makes them stick so much better ..My brother does it with a rocket heater and the stickies are near melted ...you can hardly pull the plate of when they cool down

also go to a motor factors and get the good stickies ..Halfords stickies are stupidly expensive.

The Halfords ones were more expensive than gold - £5 for a tiny, tiny, tiny little patch

Got a couple of yards for free from Motoglass when I bought a new battery White "normal" stickies, used heat when putting them on, seem to stay on now.

Couple of self-tappers will hold the plates on.

I stuck my plates on with 4 stickky pads, one each end and two horizontal across the middle of the plate which seal the self tapper hole.

Clean area, heat pad, apply pad, heat, position plate, press and hold, voila!

Like the heat idea. The wife's plates are starting to peel off at the minute too.

Not bad for 10m actually.

hairdrier does the trick to stick to the paint but on my motor the front plate has to bend quite a bit so I put one small droplet of superglue on the stickie (between the stickie and plate NOT the paint work) works everytime for me.

when im in the motor factor they have loads of them over where they make the numberplates, so i just ask for some. i dont know where they get them but by god theyre strong, much more so than ones you can buy in the shop. maybe try your motorfactor?

or get some plate frames theyre tidy looking i think
