Why don't you swap your tape measure for a spirit level..... |

stick the plates on, then they can be moved with a hair drier and no lasting damage to plate or bumper |

I marked the centres of my number plates in light pencil and did same on car. I stuck the double sided tape onto the plates 1st then aligned them up a few mm's away before final fix. Some tips I have read include sticking one side of tape to number plate 24 hours before fixing to car (maybe allowing glue to cure onto plate properly?) I understand your frustration wonky plates spoil the look. Good Luck Joe Fix it until it's broke ! |

tape two pencils onto the plate fronts, so the touch the under side of the chrome arse peice/boot release. this will help keep straight as you align the tape At work

Tip of the day: If using an old plate at the template, do not put them back-to-back to mark the holes - put one on top of the other instead.
