What Fixings work for me?
After creating your number plate, it now needs fixing to the vehicle. Here are your options for types of fixings:
- Screws, Nuts and Bolts
- Adhesive Pads
- Number Plate Surrounds
Fixing using adhesive pads
Adhesive pads are generally the BS AU 145e recommended fastening solution. No drilling is required and there is no obstruction to the front of the plate, just wipe the surface of the vehicle and the back of the number plate and stick on.
- Ensure that the surface you are attaching to is clean and dry
- Ensure that the back of the plates are clean and dry
- Attach 5 sticky pads to the back of the plate, 1 at either end vertically, one in the middle vertically and 2 in the middle at an angle. Download the below PDF for an image
- Press firmly across the whole plate (with attached pads) and hold for 5 seconds
Fixing with screws or bolts
Our number plate drilling guide
The video guide shows how to drill your number plate so you can fix your number plate to your vehicle.
Take the existing number plate from the vehicle and place some tape down the length of the plate. Mark where the current drilled holes are on the tape. Now take your newly printed and laminated number plate and take the marked tap and place down the length of the new number plate. Using the marked areas as a guide, drill two holes using a pillar drill or hand drill. Then take the drilled number plate and use any fixings of your choice to fix the plate to the vehicle.
Number Plate Surrounds
Number Plate surrounds are a great solution of fixing your plate. Paired with a rail, you can customise with sleek branding on the front, making it a cleaner solution.
