Anyone know anyone in Glasgow who can trim numberplates??

Just back from the Number Plate Centre - ace shop - they trimmed my plate and didn't charge me (nice young man!) - thanks for the recommendation (looks not too bad either!)!!

I'm putting mine lower than the bodywork too (and Velcro'ing it on) so to prevent the clam getting scratched if the speed bump/pavement is too high!

Anyway - just want to say thanks!

I'm sure if you flutter you're eyelashes - the "nice young man" will happily brazilian your number plate too!

That's what I do too, lose a number plate every now and again when it falls off and I don't hear iot but better that than a chipped clam (which I've done too).

Heat up a tea-spoon under your gas-hob to seal the edges if you did a DIY job

I use a jigsaw, fine blade (metal is best) - turn the speed down
then i use a Bench belt sander to do the corners.
takes about 10secs per corner.

great results ...........

Hey David!

I've just done my front one for now and it looks great ( the B&Q velcrow works a treat!!)!

Have you done your back plate? Got any pictures?
