bravo 35 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 You can either buy the additional fixing set, or you can drill holes in them, or you can use double-sided foam trim tape. (I use the tape option, and they've been on the car for over 3 years, and still going strong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 178 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 +1 to double-sided foam tape... about $4 a roll from Supercheap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted March 8, 2010 Yep, double sided tape is by far the cleanest. I splurged an bought a $6 roll from Mitre 10 Mega. Still got over half the roll left. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lbirgel 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2010 Mine are held on with velcro strips. Been on the car for 3 years now. This is a bonus if you have more than one set of plates you use. etc black german plates (for events) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) I used the proper Euro plate holders..no holes in my plates and they look realy neat & tidy... downside... they cost $50 each from the dealers (mine were a gift) Edited March 9, 2010 by *Glenn* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McDuck 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2010 Contact LICENSYS (09 259 2660), the company that presses plates in NZ and purchase the 'Eurosurround' for $28, available in either chrome or black. Go with black plastic as the chrome paint comes off with stone chipping. The surround has a perforated backing plate and once screwed or taped down it allows you to slide and lock the plate in place, using a hinged border section. Keep those plates hole free!

They would be the same as the dealer ones... just cheaper. Thats also the same as the ones I fitted. This is how they look... nice and clean Edited March 10, 2010 by *Glenn* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
