V90 Numberplate screw picture help
The dealer stuck my front plate on with tape, it lasted 3 days.....
I dont want to go sticking a screw through a hose or wiring, so could someone maybe post a photo of where theirs is screwed so I can copy it please? Dealer is 300 miles away, screws are £1.00.

No hoses or wiring behind the bumper cover- just styrofoam.. drill away!

I understand when drilling the actual plate, it should be done from the back, as drilling from the front can separate the layers.

Buy a good quality sticky tape, clean both surfaces with a alcohol wipe, apply a little heat from a hair dryer then stick together and apply a little more heat whilst applying pressure over the sticky pad area with a cloth

Same happened to mine. Luckily it fell off on my yard.
Seems to be a trend. A year earlier I went to Goodwood for theFestival of Speed in a loose convoy with a couple of friends. I was driving my newish Honda CRV. Wed gone about 200 miles and I was driving into the parking bay at the hotel, and friends were following. As I came to a stop the rear plate fell off and they saw it happening. What were the chances of that, after all that distance and maybe 5000 miles total on the car?

Thanks all, I wont be using pads, the reason its coming off is that the bumper slopes in sharply downwards, so its just peeling it off, I would re-tape if it was flatter.
