How to Fit Number Plates Without Screws

There are a couple of methods you can employ to fit a number plate without screws. Here are two solutions we offer.

• Sticky pads – Sticky pads serve to be a completely screw-free option, enabling you to preserve your plate perfectly. Sticky pads use an adhesive to achieve a lasting connection with the bumper.

Although this method is secure enough for attachment, it can be removed with enough force. This is something to consider if you own a private plate or have had issues with theft in the past.

• Number plate holder – A number plate holder only partly employs the use of screws, however, they do not go through your plate, keeping them pristine. Number plate holders act as a casing for your number plate, whilst providing reliable and durable protection that is much more difficult to remove.

The number plate holders we offer come in either chrome or black, if you require screws to attach your number plate holder, we also sell a screw pack.

How do I remove my old plates?

If your old plates are not damaged, and you need to remove them to replace them with a new number plate, you must first check how the plate was attached.

If your plates were screwed on, you’ll be able to find the screws on the plate, and use a corresponding screwdriver or tool to remove it.

Sticky pads can come off with enough force, or sometimes require heat or other chemicals to loosen its stick. Depending on how much adhesive is used, you could find dried residue remaining on the bumper. In this instance, you must carefully moisten the residue and scrape it off without damaging the paintwork.

Is it better to use screws or sticky pads for number plates?

If you want to preserve the look of the plate, it is better to use sticky pads. However, you compromise on security, as screws are more intricate when it comes to removing them. That being said, a number plate holder is the perfect compromise, as it employs the use of screws, but does not affect the plate at all.

Ultimately, both are reliable when it comes to sticking power, if attached correctly, the plate will not become loose under normal driving conditions.
