Are the Dubmeister ones really that bad???

Title: Re: number plate holders
Post by: Ben_1uk on 10 July 2009, 12:56: What's wrong with them???
Title: Re: number plate holders
Post by: Adam on 10 July 2009, 12:58: They snap far to easy. Ask Shady...

They are flimsy and useless. I have 1 in my garage, when I tried taking the front panel off, I was as careful as careful can be and one tab to the left snapped, meaning it wouldn't fully clip in place.

You're meant to be able to have the function of replacing the plate with another easily. The Dubmeister do not offer as such lol!
Title: Re: number plate holders
Post by: Ben_1uk on 10 July 2009, 13:02: I'll see what they're like - if they ever turn up!!!

What do you think to the ones I've just ordered???
Title: Re: number plate holders
Post by: Shady Pioneer on 10 July 2009, 13:07: They will undoubtedly be better than the Dubmeister ones lol! Cool that they have a hinge too. Only thing is think about securing the plates with a screw or something as they will easily be stolen if wanted.
Title: Re: number plate holders
Post by: Adam on 10 July 2009, 13:10: If you look at the pictures I thing it requires you to screw the plates into place.
Title: Re: number plate holders
Post by: Ben_1uk on 10 July 2009, 13:12: You can do it either way mate:

Quote
You can either screw the surrounds to the car then fit the number plates or if you already have screwed on plates as shown here, you can screw the plate and the surround onto the car at the same time.

I don't really want screw into the number plate. I was just gonna use the double-sided sticky pads (1mm thick).

If thieving scum wanted them mate, they would just unscrew the plate and holder as one!
Title: Re: number plate holders
Post by: Shady Pioneer on 10 July 2009, 13:17: The holder won't come out with the plate. The plates screws are behind the plates once screwed in ;) :P
Title: Re: number plate holders
Post by: Ben_1uk on 10 July 2009, 13:19: Could still pinch the plates though, which is all they'd be after!

So, on the Dubmesiter surrounds, does the ABT tuning slogan on the bottom of the plate holder detach? Is this what snapped off on yours Shady???

Post by: Wayne on 10 July 2009, 13:20: I had the hinged ones, were a lot better than the snap off bottom ones to be honest.
