Hi everyone

Got my st... Loving life but I'm changing the number plates (don't want the dealers name on it!) and I'm getting them Sunday hopefully. I notice there's a foam pad behind the rear number plate. What's the best thing to get it off with?

Cheers.

    I would leave the foam pad on, it holds the number plate away from the tailgate & prevents the plate from rubbing on the paintwork.

    Do you want to remove it because your putting the new plates on without screws for a cleaner look?

    Foam will pull off, remove the leftover glue with a tar remover, halfords sell self adhesive foam strips in different thicknesses to stick the plate back on.
