Mounting rear number plates
When mounting the large curved (smiley) rear number plates do people use double sided tape? Or is it necessary to use the slightly thicker ‘spacer’ type pads/tape?

Also worth noting that the adhesive pads need to be places vertically. The ingress of water behind will get in there and can detatch,as i found out. This is found to be more common,on cars which live outside most of their lives ,not in a garage. Mine are plastic bolted now, and it saves the worry of checking and losing them on the motorway,and having to buy new ones.!! There are a few posts on here on how to position the adhesive pads to help the water drain away , but i prefer the belt and braces after my disaster, even after buying 3M and cleaning correctly....
