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!

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.

If you look at the pictures I thing it requires you to screw the plates into place.

You can do it either way mate:

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!

The holder won't come out with the plate. The plates screws are behind the plates once screwed in ;) :P

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???
