Thank you I’m 65 on my own now and never had to this job before. Nice clear instructions.

Wee tip if you have a curved front bumper.. if you heat the back of the numberplate slightly with a hairdryer whilst holding it in the other and it will bend in the middle to your desired shape making it fit better..

Hi Mat! Thank you so much for your video..I'm a single woman and just bought my own plates..AND I'm going to fit them myself 👍👌!!! Your video was clear and helpful..good job💖💖

I already attached my new plates to my car yesterday afternoon with sticky pads. But literally 3 hours after doing it it started raining. And it has been on and off since then, atm it’s quite heavy. I’m worried this will mess up the tape since it didn’t get time to bond fully and make them more likely to fall off

Edit: they’re completely fine. Very solid bond

I'm going to use this technique to affix my new French number plates to my (ex-English) car. My neighbour had suggested I needed to drill holes but I'm so happy I don't have to do that. You have a very reassuring voice btw! :)

Thank you Mat. Have just acquired a car and new plates and your method looks super easy even for a single Great Gran who's not as strong as she used to be! Here goes first thing tomorrow ...

Just bought myself a private plate, can’t wait to get the plates on using this method, cheers

All you need is: 3M VHB 5952
This version of 3M's double sided tape is very high bond. Stuck my plate to my bumper as if it were screwed down, no way it's coming off.

Good solid advise Mat. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the advice Mat, very much appreciated. Plates Are On, Really On, Gwych! 👍

Really useful video. I have some private plates to fit. The old plates were attached with Velcro and id like to remove this Velcro from the car. Any tips on how to do this please?

My rear number plate fell off, I have some of my late husband's double sided tape (he was a motor mechanic)
The tape is at least 8 years old, will it still be ok to use?
Or should I chuck it out and go to Halfords?
Thanks for a great video

[simonwaite]

Great video. I'd have guessed most of it but the alignment tips were very helpful

[mk-osgl]

So you used 3 sprays: 1.Detailers 2.All purpose 3.Tar remover
Correct? Cheers

[andrewturner]

Great video. Do you have a link to the tape that you use? I've used this method once before but when the tape got wet over time the plate started to come off

Sticky pads should be only ever be used. Keeps the plate looking clean this way.
Say no to screws

Many times here in Greece the traffic police removes license plates for illegal parking (+ticket), if you ''glue'' them on the bumper and not fitted with screws (so the policeman can remove them with his own tools) then except the ticket they call a car-crane, they take your vehicle to their garage so you have to pay for each day that stays in plus the initial ticket plus the obligation to remove the plates by yourself and give them to the police for some time.
It's a nightmare that's why the Greek drivers never attempt to ''glue permanently'' their license plates.

I've just re fitted mine with this sticky tape (fell off yesterday) woke up this morning and it had fallen off again. Any tips?

[juicyplumbs]

I bought sticky pads with my plates but I’m so nervous it’ll unstick, I’ve got enough for 5 pads on front and 5 one back
