   If you stick them on, it's worth remembering that the 'low lifes' can easily remove them! do you really want to be woken in the middle of the night by your local ecilop (well, that's what it says in my rear view mirror!) because they've done a crime with your plates on? Hmmmm........

   I speak from experience btw, if it should ever happen to anyone, it should be reported to police immediately, to cover themselves not forgetting to keep the crime reference number!

    just stick them on with pads, its not like they come off easily. have to try quite hard to pull them off without snapping them. my mate had velcro ones, thats stupid. mine are on with pads, does look alot better and smoother

    The no more nails tape is very good stuff.
    
    We use it quite a lot at work and you'd be suprised at what it can hold up
