Any ideas how your going to mount them yet? I think i'll drill mine so i can get the curve on the front mount.  :undecided:

I haven't got round to fitting mine yet, can't decide whether to drill them or not? :undecided: i've been having a look for some decent carriers although i don't really want the ones with ABT on them tbh, my question is though, has anyone swapped the front curved mount for a carrier and how does it fit/look? Can you post a close up pic please?

I quite like "the spirit of Wolfsburg" ones but i'm not sure.. :undecided:

My plate on the front keeps popping off with just sticky pads, no matter how much I prep it/clean it and how many pads I use, I even bent the plate to the shape of the carrier, but any time it's sunny it pops off again at the corners!!! Just ordered some 3M Dual Lock, sounds good, got a metre of the stuff so if this doesn't hold it on, nothing will!

I bent my from plate a little, cleaned both areas with brake cleaner then used a SH!t load of sticky tape.

I used some stuff I got from b&q. Think I posted a link to it earlier in this thread.

So far mine has held perfectly and it been washed a few times since and been in the heat too so it seems decent stuff.

Thanks Jimble. I think I like them. I'm in 2 minds about wither I think the writing is a bit big, I'd have preferred a more smaller font. would be nice to see a bigger picture than what the website shows and with it also fitted with a number plate.
