Thank you for a waffle free, clear and brief but perfectly detailed enough video! So refreshing!
Thank you for your video that gets straight to the point. Waffle and jargon free. Well done👍🏼
Old number plate is in about 7 pieces, I’ll do my best though.
Saved me £32 fitting at Halfords. Thanks!
This method is fine if your existing plates are straight! Also, I put some insulating tape on back of new plates where holes will be drilled, just to stop backing being chewed up. Who knows, might stop water getting into them for a bit longer 👍🏻
Lovely, straight to the point - waffle free - cheers.
Just to add that the original holes may be loose for the original screws once they have been taken out, and slightly bigger screws may be necessary when fitting the new plates. I had this problem. Also, it is not a bad idea to attach two sticky pads as well, just for added security and peace of mind.
Glad I came to this video.. some are 15-20 minutes long !!
Very good; nice and straightforward 👍
Very useful video! Thanks alot!Saw many videos talking about 'double sided tape' - but I needed to drill holes.....bah!My old plate had changed color and was thus illegal - all sorted now though! Thanx again!
Just got pulled aswel yesterday cuz my plates were tinted back an front got with the car wich I didn’t know but they fine u anyways so got new legal plates 3d ones sticks out a bit the letters numbers shud be right so I come here to this channel to put em in an how to looks quite easy
Useful video , thanks.
Awesome video. Thanks for the help.
This is very useful. Thanks! But didn't know there were no Nuts/Bolts on the back of the bumper
Thank you so much👍😊
Where do you get the black/white/yellow caps to blend the screws in with the plate please?
Most number plate screw sets include them alongside the screws themselves
Worked for me !😀
Noticed the screwcap was black on the way off and white as it went back on. What if you don't have a magic wand to change it?
what if your number plate is stolen and you don't have the old plate to use as a template? do all cars have the holes in the same place? is it unified?
Unfortunately there is no standardisation. If there was, we'd supply our plates with pre-drilled holes. It's annoying I know!
In your circumstance, you have 3 options:
1) Using a ruler, measure the distance between the screw holes on your car and manually plot the holes at the correct positions on your new plates. (Make sure you measure the distance between the front and rear screw holes separately because, even more annoyingly, some car models even differ on either side!)
2) Find a friend with the same model car and follow the instructions as per the video.
3) Use high-durability sticky pads. You'd be surprised how effective they are! (See this video for more info: ruclips.net/video/7nxVJvNHpxI/видео.html )
Good luck!
Thanks, yeah I used method 1. Worked a treat :)
I got a number plate holder but the behind of the holder it has holes. So i checked it against the car. And then put it over the number plate and mark where i need to drill. Making sure its straight and how low or high i want the number plate to be fitted
So I take it always drill from the back of the plate through to the front?
Yes
@@HalfDayHero and why is that
@@majortom4543 the way the screw drills, if you did it the other way, the face could have surface cracks or lifted edges
again ppl don't say what drill bit to use
same size as holes on last plate?
That's great if you can use the original number plate as a template, but mine is broken!
NO no no no no!!!!
Never transfer old holes to new item without first fixing old item to new item (the same way around!) so that it can't move.
THEN!! After drilling first hole nice and square in a drill press not freehand like this bodger, put a bolt through the holes BEFORE drilling the second hole.
I need to tap a new holes, both screws have rusted and one sheared off.
Just tried to unscrew my number plates from a Dacia and they seem to be unscrewable, some kind of rivet. Has anyone come across these before?
Oui t'inquiète pas moi aussi j'ai reconnu la musique
What if no old plat??!
what if there's no head on the screw? How do you remove it then??
pliers
We produce this kind of screws
Useless if old plate holes are squint like mine!
Had a car crash, number plate is messed, yes i can get the physical plate from eBay....but im totally lost as to how my reg will be put on that plate as eBay will send a blank plate, any help would be so appreciated - Based in London UK.
sorry its late, just buy one from online plate shop, they make it all for you for £20
I just use zip ties because I'm lazy
Ditch the awful music!
