Hi,
I have just bought a new bumper, had it sprayed and am now ready to put my number plate on it. It doesn't have any holes where the number plate goes so I guess I need to drill some ? or push the screw in then screw it in ?
Just wondering what kind of screws I need ?
The screws on there now are fairly rusty and I guess it would do no harm in buying some new ones.
Thanks (not a troll, just never screwed a number plate on)
I think it's normal to use strong double sided tape nowadays, the bolt heads are purely used to help make the number plate look vaguely like somebody's name.
Really depends on hoe easy it is to get at the back of the holes

And if you use screws and want hide the heads you can get plastic things that you put the screws through and snap a lid shut so it hides the screw heads
The police have had a campaign round here to use security screws. Apparently large numbers of number plates have been nicked in Sittingbourne recently. Worth a thought.
Interetsing what kind of security screws might they be ?
They are useing standard clutch heads. The thinking is to get the plate off you will have to break the plate. Any broken plate will get more interest from the Plod...
