You don't have to stick it on the paperwork if you don't want to, you can mount it on the grill somewhere iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 actually that looks a lot better. I'm just a bit worried about ripping it off if I had to change plates over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Looks quality Was the silver indicator a hard job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Looks quality Was the silver indicator a hard job? Sarnie, its just a little fiddly....... easiest way is just to undo the bolt at bottom of headlight. Gives you a bit more leverage but you do need good finger dexterity! You can do it without undoing this bolt as well but even more fiddly...... a paid of needle nose pliers helps as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbad Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Looks quality Was the silver indicator a hard job? 5 minute job as Jacko said. didn't find it difficult at all just fiddly. Got them off DJ Dunk off here. recieved them next day too. Nixy - The double sided sticky tape should come off with hot soapy water. Guess it's similar to the stuff used on car badges. I have a full roll of the stuff if anyone wants some at the NW meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behind the counter where they do the plates if you have one nearby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbad Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 ruby the plate looks nice! where did you get the double sticky tape? need a proper one myself Cheers!! Yeah Halfords can do the tape or i'll bring my roll on the NW drive and you can have some of that if you want. I got my plate from a local car shop for £9. Halfords wanted £15 i think. 4 screws, two for the plate and two for the bracket. For such little effort its made a good difference i think.

Had to take the old plate off. putting the new plate on was a case of using a few strips of tape and then press on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmmackfc Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Nixy, stickers will wash off no problems. When I changed my rear plates, there were sticker marks everywhere, soap + water + elbow grease = clean paint and no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
