if you use the foam type double sided tape and make sure there is no dirt/oil/grease on both surfaces, and the plate will fit in the gap you are trying to fit it in then it should stick there like S*** to a blanket. I find the problem is getting the thing back off again!

I had a blank plastic numberplate made up then stuck this to our camper with sikaflex 221 (like silicone but much stronger). we then apply self adhesive letters to the plate.letters only cost pennies if you change tow cars
Done something similar - Printed out the number on clear acetate, laminated it, then that is stuck over the reflectiveplate with greenhouse tape. Really easy to change!

First you need to reduce the size of the plate so it sits flat in the aperture.
Be careful rules governing number plates change a few years ago and any plate fitted to a vehicle or trailer MUST comply with the rules including size of plate and font size and style and the reflectivity. So check with a certified numberplate maker before you make or change any plate you have.
Hi
Ade, the problem is number 1 - the new plate needs to be packed out. I don't know why pennine have made the space too small - very annoying.
We are going to think through some of these solutions and decide what to do. We can't cut the plate to fit as the numbers/lettrs go almost to the end of the plate. I'm not sure I will trust the adesive strips again, but I like your analogy doit!!
LOL thanks Heidi - if you can get the plate made a tiny bit smaller than the norm, it will never notice to the 'old bill'. Try buying a copy of the motorcycle news or checking out ebay, as there is always somebody out there who will make you a slightly smaller plate (if that is what you need to get the plate in the 'hole'). Then, as long as you have cleaned grease etc from the plate and the camper, it will stick so well with 2 sided foam type sticky tape, you will have trouble getting it off again (blankets and poo spring to mind again lol). As regards the law - a slightly smaller plate that stays in place is far better than the correct size that drops off at the first bumpy stretch of road
