yes. Double sided tape?

Please don't ask how strong it is. I can pull off double sided tape. I can't pull off drilled holes.

So will Sikaflex cause paint damage if i decide to remove it later??? i was thinkin of a more preservative method... like cable tieing it to the side-front grill or something. possible??? will it look okay?

Cable tied will look fine Mani
Give it a go you can always change it if you're not happy with the look. *cool*

Matt - I checked all kinds of road rules for number plate mounting and could not find anywhere that specifies it must be in a certain position or angle. Take a look at an Alfa 159: Image

You can put it in your grill though, which is what i have done.. i just used cable ties..


Really ?
How bout all the old Evos, 7,8,9 ? They all have them on the side!

Did the rules just get implemented or something ?
