metal plates

Just wondering who got the pressed metal plates on their cars just got mine today but they sent me the wrong ones just wanted plain one's but they sent the blue euro emblem with the D on.So sending me another set (bonus)
Anyway don't really want to drill them want to use some sort of double sided tape whats the best method please anyone

i used double back sticky on the front, and a plate holder thing on the back…no bothers.

cheers mate thanks  

i got some but got holes drilled in mine and screwed on to front plate holder and screwed on to rear panel

Get the double sided tape, as stated. Its about an inch wide and has a green peel off backing. Heat it and the surface its going on to with a hairdryer first and itll stick like poo to a blanket.

wee tony where did you get yours as thts exactly what im looking for but can only find engish font ones not german like that ???

There's a guy on ebay that sells them mate, he sent me the wrong set first time too! Nice bloke though and I'd get the tape too, halfrauds sell it although they want the earth for it.

T :roll:

Theplateman.com is for sale | HugeDomains

I'm sure this is the same guy that posts on ebay (for a bit less actually)

But i got the surrounds here, and infact it's a better way of making sure you get exactly what you want.

Infact just noticed this…

" We offer discounts to clubs and groups who wish to buy multiple plates.

Perfect for forums, car clubs or just a group of your mates…"

So I'll start us off by saying I'm looking for one front plate.

If we get enough I'll contact the plateman and work my haggle magic.

Whats The deal with the legalities of the pressed metal plates.

My Girlfriend got her knuckles wrapped and threatened with a ?60 fine yesterday whilst out in the cabby as the copper said that metal plates are illegal in the uk ???? :?
Luckily she smiled sweetly and he let her go.

from memory so bare with me.
pressed plates are legal but only when in the correct font and backed by a suitable reflective material. the plate must be legal size and layout. it can not display another countrys logo or international letter.

got my legal pressed plates from carnoisseur or however you spell it and never had any trouble with them and been running them for just under two years i think.

That explains it then. They are normal font size etc BUT they have a D on them.
