Strong stuff that double sided tape.

Found out the hard way when parking too close to the kirb.

Be careful out there kids.

No worries.... Won't see it when you stick it back on.

Bog standard sticky back velcro used on mine, two long strips. Doesn't move at all but easily pulled off if required.

I use Velcro so I can swap to my proper size legal front plate if needed

think I could get away with this without doing a repair to the fibreglass?  Not really bothered what it looks like behind the plate.  But my concern is, the nature of the break, has left an uneven surface on the plinth, which might not be suited for strips of velco (after hearing this suggestion, would be my prefered fix).  They'd likely work themselves off right?

 

I think i can answer this question myself.  But it just wouldnt be what I want to hear, as I dont fancy the time/effort/money of a fibreglass repair for something unseen.

Mine was like that when I got it so I just drilled and screwed it on.
