As above. I acutally used nylon to get them off my car. The rear plate felt like it has been welded on! I took me hours. Is you car ex-Meriden Modena, per chance?

The fron is on a small metal bracket which is screwed into the front bumper. Let me know if you want pics, I'll go get some.

Dicky,
Many thanks for confirming my suspicions, I will have a go and I will be steady.
Mike and Woody, that's a good idea I will try that. Originally I think it was a H.R. Owen car. No pics required thanks, I can see the bracket.
Cheers
Robert

Once you've cut through them with nylon you can remove the bits that are left behind by heating them gently with a hair dryer to soften the adhesive. They should then peel or rub off relatively easily.

How about heating the plates with a hair dryer first, then peeling them off?? getting to the rear plate with anything at all does not look easy, there is virtually no gap!!

I have used that white nylon string about a cm wide that comes wrapped round parcels. Does the job nicely.

A Question:
4200 Car Horn, is there only one, or a pair and where are they located? Mine sounds like a fiat 500 basic, just a peep!! Surely they are not supposed to sound like that???
