Mounting Plate Holders

My german plates just arrived, just wondering how to fix the holders to my car, is velcro a possibility, dont really want to drill a hole in my bumber, and it allows for a quick change if the cops stop me, use the old show excuse

, im hoping ill get away with them here in northern ireland cause we only have 3 gatsos in the whole country!!!!

and this seems the main reason for outlawing them.

Sticky Numberplate pads.

are they not just those 3m things that are a pain to rip off and change?

Yes, but with velcro dont forget there's more of a risk of it falling off.

The pads aren't really too bad with some tar remover.

its just if i do get stopped i want something which will allow me to put on my "legal" plates quickly and easily.

and change em back to my german one easily if i wish.

You'll only get stopped so many times I should think before they properly do you for them.

Its just i thought it would be more likely to get away without a fine if i could change em then and there, was going to get a set of legal plates to keep in the boot. Pads would be kinda alkward to change roadside.

Can you not take the plates out of the holder?

As if you can, would it not be easier to fix the holder on firmly and just swap the plates into and out of it?
