got some french pressed plates and used sticky pads to attach them to my car. only problem is they don't stick well and come apart from the sticky pad in areas.

whats the best thing to use to stick metal plates to the car?

thanks

Never thought of velcro, although come to think of it my mates have just used velcro on their new plates.
