Stolen Number Plates

  • I've got 4D plates on with sticky pads. Screwing screws into them will just spoil the clean look.



    OK, what do you drive? And if it's old does it not matter how it looks?

    And they say you can't polish a turd.

    You've got what?

    Oh. Raised plastic letters stuck to the backing plate.

    Blimey, I thought they'd died out in the 70s.

    And only 2.5x the price of normal ones. Bargainacious.

    On the plus side, the OP will be able to fill the car with fuel and drive off without paying and blame it on the clone vehicle.

    Yes, plastic letters stuck onto the front of the normal backing plate.

    Not at all.

    I really couldn't care less if you want to spend fifty of your quid on risible stick-on cosmetic tat for your car. Fill your boots.

    I merely find it amusing that people have resurrected that old idea as some kind of "premium" solution.

    Just... at least be honest to yourself about what they are. Stick-on letters on a backing plate. No more, no less.

    They did not cost £50 they were actually less than what you would pay for a set of normal plates from Halfords.

    You are obviously triggered by it the way you keep commenting on it. This also goes for my replies in other posts. It is clear that you do have a problem.

    Furry muff. I took the price from the first site that google pointed me to when trying to find out what these plates are, which somehow involve the fourth dimension of time...

    Not a bit of it. I genuinely hope you're very happy with your stick-on letters, and that they help you lead a full and rewarding life.

    <shrug> I really can't say I've noticed your user name at all. Sorry. Should I have?
