Front Number Plate side mounted without screws??

Postby damocr » Mon Nov 19, 2012 4:41 pm

OK so i know there are plenty of side mounting brackets on ebay and around that require 2 self tapping screws.

But i wanted to know if anyone has been able to successfully side mount their plate without damaging the bumper at all. ie not drilling into it.

Has anyone tried and failed as well. Just wanting to brainstorm.

Are there any adhesives on the market that would hold, or perhaps someone has made a bracket that extends upwards from the plastic surrounding of the fog lights?

Some sort of glue, tape or velcro.
I'd suggest sikaflex but it'd be hard to remove... Maybe you could use the bare minimum just around the edge so you could sort of cut it off if you watned to...

I have used Velcro tabs that are sticky on the back side but my number plate is in the centre of the bar so the air pushes it against the bar. Mine has never come off when driving. Yours is mounted on the side so I would expect a lot more air pressure getting behind yours to blow it off. You can try it but be warned if it comes off you could damage the plate holder or even possible your paint or windscreen if it flies off.

Another option is to place strong magnets on the inside of the bar if you use a steel frame.

Good luck.

perhaps... Powered magnet inside the front bar, line the back of the license plate with steel plating.

Hey this is a good idea, I was gonna drill my side mount license plate holder on! I think I will just use the double sided tape and that will be way easier!
