Numberplate with no Screws

[panthro]

I'm having my bumper resprayed and figured it would be a good opportunity to smooth it and have a plate that doesn't screw in. What's the best options these days? Someone mentioned that you can get magnetic plates now? I was just going to go down the double sided tape or velcro route!

I've used No More Nails tape and that's worked perfectly come sun/rain/floods/snow

3M VHB used to be the go to

Edit:
3M Dual Lock if you want the option to remove the plates for any reason

Used double sided foam tape before. The foam gives it some give that helps it stay stuck. Just try and get some decent stuff.
Many cheap knock offs about nowadays that would not hold a paperclip.

I bought some Tiger Tape just the other day for this very thing - good recommendations off friends and it's made in the UK if that matters. I've found in the past some of the 3M VHB pads off ebay just didn't hold long term. I suspect some were fake and not really 3M despite stating it.

I've since decided to go with Wurth plate holders.

I've not had great results with 3M VHB (assuming genuine) in general including number plates, double-sided tape in general is so hit and miss. Picked up some Tiger Tape recently but not got around to using it, the Unibond strips I had seem to hold for now.

Personally much prefer screw in plates.

Harris number plate tape, I've done 6 cars with this and no issues..

However, just about anything mentioned above will work! Just clean the area first with something suitable..
