   Jusr got my new number plates today, they are like the french ones but have the GB badge instead. Just want to know how would i stick them to the car without having to screw them on as i dont want to run the risk of cracking them?

   I use specific double sided sticky pads intened for sticking number plates to cars... they are brilliant, mine cetainly arent going anywhere... are you def intending on putting them on? As i have a shed loads and could post you a few out if you wanted to wait..failing that, i would imagine you could get a similar thing from a hardware store of something!

   either that, or try with some plyers if the head on it is big enough.
