How to Stick Words/Numbers to Cars?

Options
I have a Vauxhall Astra but the V fell off at some point.
I have a replacement - how can I stick it back on so it won't fall off when using a pressure washer or a bump in the road?

    Superglue worked for me a few cars back.

    You can buy double-sided trim tape by the roll.

    Did you buy a replacement letter from the dealer? If so, I'm surprised it didn't come pre-taped on the back. If it's from a scrappy, of course, then remnants of the old tape'll need cleaning off first.

    I just used hot glue when replacing the V on my old Volvo 940

    Lasted for as long as I had the car, which was admittedly only a couple of years.

    call back to the dealership or motor factors where you got it from, and ask for a number plate sticker. its a fat spongy double sided tape. it shouldn't cost anything or at worse 50p. cut it to your shape and stick it on.
