I used to get my 3/4 plates from fancyplates if that helps.

Got a new bumper on now and can't bring myself to fitting a plate :bigcry:

Proof of Concept....

So after having the new bumper fitted and not bringing myself to fitting a plate, I tried the magnet idea yesterday. Seems to work OK and is speed tested up to 150 in Germany :whistle:

The plate will be getting replaced as it's stonechipped and scratched so ignore the fact it's off centre slightly and not level :hahaha: I'll fix that!

So on for buying petrol and to please the City of London police, and off for "shows" :thumbs:





Well I like it!

looks good . get some magnets on your 3/4 plate as well.

like your new xenon lenses :gayfight:, very stone chip free

So I guess my idea works ok then, what type of magnets did you use?

I first saw the yanks doing it and thought it was a good idea:

I used these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Neodymium-Disc...item53e088a01d

Seem to work quite well.

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:
