Attaching Pressed Plates

[vw55raz]

Ive got my pressed plates on order but im worried about how to attach them. I woudnt mind doing the b&q method but then theres a problem with the rear plates. I dont want to use glue or anything because they might come off as ive got sound system in the boot.

is it possible to get one of them plate holders/surrounds from dubmeister and use them for the front and back plates? and how do they go on? are they drilled into the bumpers

Thanks

yea they are drilled to bumper but u can use sticky pads aswel... but if ya gonna use sticky pads may aswel just sticky pad the plate to it... and it shouldnt fall off with bass... my mates golf ones never fell off with 145db....... so

Use B&Q foam tape. A few tabs of that and it'll never come off.

That's what I use, not drills, no silly plate surrounds.

i agree with tim... plate surrounds are silly plus expensive for what they are, i use sticky back velcro i got from hobbycraft, just dont tell anyone or they will steal them, my friends had a field day when they found out there velcroed on lol...

plus is there a special way to take my old plates off? i dont want to be damaging the bumper in any way.

thanks again

Yeh that's the stuff Raz, does a great job.

Taking old ones off is not much of a problem, there's no real standard method to doing it, as they're all stuck on differently.

Is it screwed in?

no they aren't screwed in. I'm gonna pick up the tape tommorrow and do it over the weekend
