How Do I Safely Remove Number Plates?

Post by markjp »

I want to replace my number plates with the Euro Versions so I don't have to add a GB badge to the car when travelling abroad.

As I can see no fixings for the plates I assume they must be stuck on.

How do I safely remove the plates without doing any damage to the bumpers?

If they don't just pull off then heat up with a hairdryer to soften the glue on the pads. If it still doesn't pull off use dental floss between the platw and the pads.
