Monkeyzinho 0 Posted August 6, 2018 Hi All I just received my first ever set of trade plates and I'm not sure if this is a stupid question or not but do I need to peel opaque covering from the front? It's quite thick and doesn't not want to peel off. Also what about the sticker from the back? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOACROSS 414 Posted August 6, 2018 Ha. Yes. It should look red on a white background when displayed. I don't know what sticker you have on the back. I just stick a rear window sticker on the back of our sets, in case they get mislaid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monkeyzinho 0 Posted August 6, 2018 Thanks - I just didn't want to damage them! The back is just paper but seems the back of them has glue if removed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BAS 4 Posted September 5, 2018 I had a good old game getting an edge to roll over before being able to peel the film, but it can and should be done. My missus with her otherwise impractical false nails saved the day! How do you folks attach them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOACROSS 414 Posted September 5, 2018 Sprung loaded clamps, suckers, magnets, cord. Depends on the car: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F381811156979 Mostly, if just me driving short distances I still sling my set on the dash (wrongly I know) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BAS 4 Posted September 5, 2018 Thanks, that's one kit I have not come across before. I like the idea of the spring loaded thingies, to date rightly or wrongly I have been chucking the front ones inside the windscreen and cable tying the rears over the existing plates.

Wrongly but I wouldn’t let it worry you. People on here have been doing that for years. The spring loaded clips work nicely and I have the suckers as a back up.

BAS 4 Posted September 6, 2018 Thanks, much better than cable ties I think! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BAS 4 Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) Kit now purchased, although reckon it is a bit over priced if you break it down and price up the components. Worth it to me though for the convenience of buying it all together, I couldn't be ar5ed to search around Ali-Express for each part separately!
