FITTING YOUR NUMBER PLATES

If your old number plate is held on by screws – Remove the caps which cover the two screws on your existing number plate and unscrew the two screws. These are generally held on by a philips screw head.

If your old number plate is held on by STICKY PADS (ie- no visible screws can be seen) – Simply place your fingers under the corner of the number plate and gently start to pull, depending on how long the number plates have been on, you made need to pull quite hard.

DO NOT use a screwdriver etc as this could damage your car.

1. Make sure that there are no old sticky pads still stuck on the vehicle. If there are, you need to remove them completely.
2. Clean the vehicle where your number plate is going to sit. This will remove any dirt or grease which may prevent the sticky pads from giving a secure bond.
3. Remove the backing sheets from the sticky pads. Evenly stick the sticky pads on to the back of the number plate. Depending on whether the vehicle surface is completely flat (usually the rear plate) or whether there is a slight bend on the plate (usually the front plate), then you may need to apply more sticky pads.
4. Once all the sticky pads are stuck to the back of the number plates, then you need to remove the second backing sheet. Once this is done carefully stick your number plate in place on your vehicle.
5. You need to make sure you apply plenty of pressure when you press the number plates onto the vehicle and try to hold the pressure on for at least 10 to 15 seconds.

PLEASE NOTE – That as soon as the sticky pads touch your vehicle they will start to bond, so you will only get one chance to get them aligned correctly, so take your time. If you do have to remove them and start again, then we suggest you use new sticky pads and the old ones will have lost a lot of stickiness by removing them.

Tip:  Try to put them on when it is mild and dry as they don’t like cold damp surfaces. Also Try and warm up the area if its cold with a hairdryer for 30–40 seconds.
