Front number plate peeling away

[scoobysnax]

My car is a year old and the front number plate is coming away from it's sticky pads. How can I keep it fixed to the curved front bumber?

Screw it on.

Ditto... Screws are the only way.

I'm sure I read a thread where SEAT dealers have decided to screw them on for this reason?

yeah its the only way to keep em on! tho i never realli like the idea of screwing anything onto the bodywork

Halfords do thicker sticky pads to cope with curved surfaces. They do work.

The ones Halfords do are really good, you don't even need thick ones! I've used them on many cars, even curvy bumpered ones and they last forever!

My best mate was having trouble fixing his plate onto his VX220, I suggested these ones and it hasn't moved since

Not on my Leon they didn't. Although I suspect the March weather had a factor in it when the garage applied them. They had used their own pads and the rear one fell off so I went and bought the Halfords ones and gave them to the garage to use. Picked the car up on the 1st of March and the rear one was coming undone by the 2nd.

Mine are screwed on at the mo.

you can get a bracket with a sticky pad on it. you still have to screw it to the bumper but they are unseen and you dont have a bad looking screw through the number plate
