So I bought some number plate surrounds for my mk3 vrs.... Didn't realise that the number plates don't screw on but instead are stuck on with adhesive.

Has anyone fitted these plate surrounds to their octy? If so how did you for them? I appreciate I'll need to pull the plates off but don't want to damage them in the process...

Cheers

Use strong thread or thin fishing line in a sawing motion behind number plate to cut through the adhesive pads.  Should be two threaded holes into which you can screw short bolts to fix number plate surrounds.  Number plates should fit into the surrounds without use of extra bolts or pads - mine do.

I have the Briskoda Plate Surrounds, bought from the Briskoba Shop

Yellow and white. 

I found i needed to double sided tape the outside edges of the surround as i didn't like them sticking out.
