I will be buying the A2OC plate holders very soonHi Lewis,
Have you considered the A2OC number plate holders available in the merchandise section of the site?
On my golf I've just used the strips you can buy from places like Halfords etc, 7 strips on each plate. Before fitting I cleaned all the old sticky stuff off though and gave the area a good clean and added a little polish for protection before sticking the new plates on ??
Absolutely agree, 3M VHB 5952F is the way to go. It will hold plates on its own once it's had time to cure, even against tension when the plate is being curved into position. I think I might have recommended it to you before.The absolute ultimate tape to use is 3M VHB. I know this from experience. I've used it many times and it's tenacious! Number plates have never come loose and as you've said, the plate is smooth and easy to clean. Make sure that the cardboard roll that it's wound around is branded 3M .....

Curious, why? I'm under the impression pressed plates meet MoT regs.Now I can see that you've got pressed plates, I'd say it's all the more important to get number plate holders in case you need to swap them over for plastic plates at MOT time - which depends on your tester.
Because not everyone agrees on that. I have pressed plates myself, and I'll find out come MOT time whether or not my local garage is happy to pass them.Curious, why? I'm under the impression pressed plates meet MoT regs.
I also wholeheartedly recommend this over anything else I've used. The Halfords type ones are too thick or too weak! Buy the other stuff!The absolute ultimate tape to use is 3M VHB.
