novel ideas on front number plates

[mattCSLnut]

COOL :smokin: Take the plates home when she's resting :beer:
Additional CSL security solutions :thumbs:
Thank U please

Moved on to MkII today....

Fitted the standard plate holder with some magnets so that it looks completely OEM, but pops off when required. Much better :smokin:

Sorry pics not great.

I Like! So you have 3x magnets glued to the inside of the bumper and the 3x to the plate holder shown? I have a vinyl plate under my OEM plate, which I keep forgetting. Gotta be at least 1kg saving! :banghead:

I actually doubled them up to give me more strength now they are holding the weight of the plate holder and the plate on, so 12 magents in all. 6 on the inside of the bumper, 6 on the plate holder, then plate stuck on with double sided tape.
Works well :thumbs:

Cheers Phat, will get some better pics when I take the car outside (bit dark in her lair)

That looks like a great idea, I might this myself. Top advice Mole.

Only thing that might bother me is that fact that it can be removed so easily, thieving? I suppose like most here, car is never left anywhere for any length of time and you could always whip is off yourself and stick it in the boot! :thumbs:

Bumping this thread, Car is in to get the bumper painted at the moment and trying decide should I fill the holes and try a vinyl plate?

What are the thoughts on these and anyone had much hassle with them?

Personally i don't like the Vinyl plates, it reminds me of MX5's and MG Midgets:blalalala:

The vinly plate will look crap when stone chipped and could damage the laquer when removed.

I would have the holes filled and just fit a 3/4 plate straight on to the bumper using velcro or those double sided adhesive pads

[chrisburns]

Yea Barry that is one of the reasons I am a little unsure. I had thought though that should I fill them in it might not be to much hassle drilling them again if I changed my mind.

Go the velcro route, I did this on my CSL, there is also a new velcro I have used lately and believe me it would hold up to 150MPH with no problems, here is some I found in Italy, but I am sur eyou could find the same stuff in the UK

did vinyl no issues can always replace as cheap as chips, but as shim says moles solution was the best ive seen

[chrisburns]

[Graham]
