I know what you mean but I would rather that they were screw fixed as they would be fro the showroom. It is the front one so it will need a good fixing to resist speeds of up to 155MPH!!!

Other than carefuly drilling out or trying with a small pair of small pliers - any other ideas? Car is up the driveway with no plates!!!!!!!!

Believe me the sticky pads (kosha plate ones) hold as well as anything. Have you ever tried getting one off..?! Also look a lot neater.
