Replacement Number Plates

Hi elecTED, how is the front stick-on plate holding up? Has it survived power washing, winter grit, etc...? Any issues with 'The Fuzz'? I love the clean look so I am seriously considering a stick-on front plate, and then using an acrylic rear plate.

The only thing I am not 100% sure on, is I am getting a white Model 3, and wonder how it will look on that as it will not contrast as well as on your car.

The plate holders are because in s lot of counties you have to get a new plate every year as it is your "tax disc".

Hi @markmobi

No problems so far. Have used power washer on it. Doesn’t really need much effort to clean at all. Nah, don’t expect any issues with ‘The Fuzz’ - the plates are totally legit and even have the BS numbering in very small fonts.

I’d say it’s the number one mod/upgrade to make. Instantly gives the car a much cleaner look, easier to clean, relatively easy to do and cost effective mod. And who knows, maybe it improves range by a tiny amount.

I think even on a white car it will look better than the untidy factory plates.

I wash my car with power wash and the plates hold up just fine

That looks great. I did order some in the end - without a border. So I will see how they look.

Looks very nice. Same colour car as me. Did you use stick ons on the back?
Cheers.

Finished fitting mine today too - much better I think.

Hi - Yep, stick on plates at the back too. If you want a really great finish at the back I’d fill in a small area that is depressed a little with blue tack or something before applying the stick on plate.

Cheers

How did you ensure they were aligned straight?

Assuming you’re happy with the existing plate alignment, all I did was mark the bottom and ends of the old plate position with insulating tape, then used this as a guide for the stick-on.

Top Tip...

Don't use a magnetic spirit level attached to your boot unless your driveway is completely level

Just let some air out of the tyres on the high side. Problem solved.

I tried stick on plates for the front, couldn't get the bubbles out. Stuck the read on with pads and it fell off.

Not worth the effort, I have new metal clean plates in the holders and it looks fine.

Use warm water with a drop of washing up liquid in a spray bottle. Apply to car and adhesive side and it will be easier to apply the stick on number plate... use a credit card to smooth out any bubbles...

Anybody know when the green ones are legal to use?

 

[DenkiJidousha]

I think the green flash is already legal, @LongRanger did his stick-on from Showplates express:
