   My euro pressed plates just arrived and I'm just wondering how to fit them to the car as they don't have screw holes. Double sided tape would be the obvious but is it safe? Could be ripped off/fall off?
   
   What have people done to fit theirs?
   
   Thanks.

   You can get some plate holders from halfrauds, or you can use no more nails pads or tape.

   Depends what you want to do buddy, if you want to screw them on then take your old ones off and put your news ones sat behind your current ones and use the old ones as a template and drill through both of them, if you want to stick them on then go down to Halfords and use number plate foam pads, 2mm & 6mm i think they are.

    thought pressed plates on cars arnt road legal. Even the ones that say uk road legal i dont trust them cos if they are illigal cos their not reflective how can you make road legal pressed plates?

    So are theose ones of that website actually legal then cos didnt trust it as so many are illigal. Much bother with cops with them?
