Hi

I'm sure the screws that fix the number plate cover on the front of the TA are to stop anyone nicking the cover, but is there any danger of it falling out whilst driving without them holding it in??

I guess it's pretty unlikely, but thought I should check. I'd be p!$$ed if I lost mine with the stainless bits on!

i dont think it would fall out unless you hit some serious road rash. run to home depot and spend 2$ on some new screws

I would'nt take a chance, screws cost alot less than plate filler. imo

Thanks for your replys.

No the responces I was hoping for....

More difficult the convince the law that I 'accidently forgot' to remove the plate cover after showing some friends what it looked like on, if the screws are installed as well!!

Guess I'll just take the $50 fine if I do get done, but I was hoping for another excuse.

its only 10$ in the US. and all we have to do is show the court we put it on, pay 10$, leave courthouse, put cover back on. ill easily pay that a couple times a year to NOT have a plate. **** front plates and **** the police!! lol

I drove for 20 miles without the screws in place on accident. This was with the heavy plug of the modified front plate cover... It had extra material on the back side, so it had some friction holding it in place.

I just leave my plate on under the cover all the time and if i get pulle over ill just tel the cop "hey sorry officer i was at a car show las weekend and forgot to take it off. Can I take it off right now." Have always just gotten off with a warning. Then when i get home i put it back on. Just keep a screwdriver in your glove box.

Yeah, I would put the screws on. If you're feeling lazy, all you really have to do is put one on. No need to put both all the way in.

I'm trying to imagine where these screws go, all 3 of my birds have never had a plate cover in the front. I don't think they even came on cali cars.

The screws would go on the bottom part of the plate cover. They gotta be very small screws. I think all CA cars would have to have front plates since it's the law here.
