Attaching plates for shows

[Karl]

Im in a bit o trouble guys and need help.

I got Twingo133.net show plates but i cant get the rears to work front works super but the rears are becoming a pain ive tryed velcro but it wount stick to the diffusser. Also brought a number plate carriers but its a bit big for the recess in the diffusser any other ideas ?

Velcro will stick; just clean the diffuser with meths first. I wouldn't rely on velcro to keep your road plates on - I'd screw those in.

Thats the thing i dont want to screw the show plates

I didn't say you should. Screw the road plates in, then underneath them on the bodywork put one side of the velcro strip so it's hidden. Come showtime, remove the road plates and velcro the showplates on.

why dont u put a square of clear velco on the outside of your normal plate and then u can just put your show plate over the top of it??

This is what ive been trying but when i put the plate away the velrco on the body comes off aswell. Ive tryed cleaning it with alsort still no luck. I use to use back to black and that on the diffuser so im wondering if the oils are the the diffuser stoping it from sticking.

And you buy clear velcro to put on the road plates?

they used to be a big roll of it at st johns
we used to put the sales plates over the used car plates when the website pics were taken so as the reg said "clio" instead of rn57...

Double sided sticky tape maybe?

I'd try meths cleaning the diffuser first. My old plate fell off the diffuser because I didn't clean it properly and taped it on.

Clean as in raw clean it, remove all cleaners, cleansers, polish, wax - adhesive won't stick to it otherwise. This goes for whatever surface you stick the velcro/tape to.
