Number Plate

I bought a replacement number plate and it came undrilled but with adhesive pads......I used these but in the heat it keeps coming loose!

Anyone know a website where I can buy a good old fashioned drilled hole number plate? I used no1showplate.co.uk or something and they don't have an option for holes.

thanks in advance

Cant you just drill holes in the one youve got?

Best to put a piece of wood behind the plate as you drill so the plastic doesnt 'pop' as the drill bit goes through. FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

if you're drilling it yourself put the wood underneath it and put black insulation tape on the points to drill. Saves the bit skidding and prevents the plate cracking!! Thumbs Up Current, M135i in Estoril Blue with more extras than the cast of Ben Hur.

Big Cry Big Cry So no one sells them drilled?

I don't have a drill, I'm a city slicker not a DIYer

I believe they don't come pre-drilled as each car/model has different hle positioning. ISTBC 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
