It never say must use screws. If double side tape is strong enough I don’t see why not. same with the bloody IU. I’m sure the plastic plate is lighter than the IU anytime. worse case is just cut off the tops of the screw and then glue it on the plate to make it look like secured by screws. Something like this? This is not advertising, just want to show the pot belly car plate. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not advertising, just want to show the pot belly car plate. maybe. but in the end why spend this sort of money and take a risk. plate only... just use the standard templates and be done. don't understand those who like to use small fonts... just asking to be fined only. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah very strange to spend money or even effort on car plate. Car plate doesn't do shit for car performance or prestige. Better spend the time look for more money to buy higher end badge car. Or spend the money on good fuel, good servicing... at least it is better investment. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamburger Hypersonic July 25, 2021 Share July 25, 2021 (edited) The last thing I need is to have my license plate to be conspicous to many. Wordings that protrude is so 70s. I prefer flat or embossed type. Edited July 25, 2021 by Hamburger 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe next time I will change to flat acrylic ones instead. My embossed car plate’s black got scratched and the black paint is coming out.

Acrylic ones are cheaper but sometimes they don’t paste the lettering properly and then will be some paint bleeding. Don’t like it. Rather pay a tad more for the embossed ones. however the embossed ones from Borneo motors are lousy. The white paint will fade within 2years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rongc81 Neutral Newbie July 25, 2021 Share July 25, 2021 @Daniu82 from what I've heard, pot belly won't pass during inspection. But I have not heard of anyone who was caught on the roads for using it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always done mine at kwang wah signcrafts opposite LTA sin Ming. Embossed type. Good stuff so far. I saw him use a European branded blank. Can’t remember the name but it was quality stuff. I did a acrylic one at SGC Johnson sticker at ubi and quality was so so but I was selling the car with new number(kept my old plate) so couldn’t care less.
