Front Number Plate

Post by Toby Hamilton »

Bit new to "owning a van seen" here just wanted to know whether people stick there front number plate to the bumper with double sided sticky tape or if they screw it to the bumper. Can't make my mind up and way to many tech archives coming up which aren't relevant when I tried searching starts to get boring.

Use a German -style numberplate holder? More screw holes though.

Or double side it to the metalwork between the two grills? Out of the way of any parking bumps then.

put the german style number plate holder on the bumper and if I stick the number plate between the two grills would I have to get a sticker number plate or is a normal plastic number plate okay?

My old van had a stick-on vinyl numberplate directly on the bumper. I think technically illegal to fit, but legal to have if dating back to before rules were changed. Anyway was never queried.
