Good quality materials. The pressed metal plates look great.
Our standard number plate sticky pads are thin 1mm double-sided adhesive pads for fixing number plates to your car. Sold in packs of 10, they're the simple, low-cost way to fit new plates on a smooth, flat surface or to stop screwed-on plates rattling.
Because they're only 1mm thick, they hold the plate close to the car for a neat, almost flush finish.
Best for
- smooth, flat plate areas
- plates that are also held on with screws
- stopping rattles behind screwed-on plates
- keeping a spare pack in the garage
Standard vs premium sticky pads: which do I need?
| Standard sticky pads | Premium sticky pads | |
|---|---|---|
| Thickness | 1mm | 3mm foam |
| Pack size | 10 pads | 10 pads |
| Best surfaces | Smooth and flat | Flat, curved or textured |
| Fitting with pads only | Flat surfaces | Recommended |
| Removal | Peel or prise off | Pull tags for easier removal |
| Plate sits | Almost flush | About 3mm from the car |
| Best plate types | Lightweight acrylic plates fitted with screws | 4D, gel and pressed metal plates, and pads-only fitting |
Not sure? Choose standard pads for flat surfaces or as backup to screws. Choose premium sticky pads if your plate area is curved or textured, you're fitting with pads only, or you have heavier 4D, gel or pressed metal plates.
How to fit number plates with sticky pads
- Remove the old plate and any old adhesive.
- Degrease the surface with isopropyl alcohol or a degreaser. This is the most important step for a strong bond.
- Let it dry completely. Pads bond best in mild weather, so fit in a garage when it's cold.
- Apply 6 to 8 pads to the back of a standard 520mm plate: one in each corner and two to four along the middle.
- Line the plate up and press firmly for 30 seconds across the whole plate.
- Leave it 24 hours before washing the car.
For extra security, combine pads with colour-matched poly-top screws. Fitted that way, plates are much harder to knock off or steal.
FAQs
How many sticky pads do I need for a number plate?
Use 6 to 8 pads for a standard 520mm plate. One pack of 10 covers one plate with spares.
Can I reuse sticky pads?
No. Always use fresh pads when refitting a plate.
Will sticky pads damage my paint?
When removed carefully, warming the adhesive and peeling slowly, they shouldn't. Avoid metal tools.
Why did my number plate fall off?
Usually because the surface wasn't clean and dry, too few pads were used, or the car was washed too soon. On curved or textured surfaces, thicker premium pads grip better.

Overall rating: 4.4 / 5 from 55 reviews.
Arrived damaged and only refunded £2.99 for the boarder cost. Done 3 previous reviews and all been removed? Funny that?
I’d been after a metal registration plate in memory of my 24 year old cat who recently passed away. There was so many companies, but I eventually decided to go with Chase Lane Plates, and I’m so happy I did. Exactly what I wanted, high quality and quick delivery, it now has pride of place on my kitchen wall. I will be ordering another! Highly recommended.
Excellent, perfect for non screw number plates
A
Excellent product and service!
Good sticky pads, work well with multi-surfaces like metal and plastic. The strength is great as my front plate is slightly bending, and they hold on, and make a tight-fitting possible without ugly screws.
Great looking number plates
👍
Arrived in good time easy to use.
Not had the opportunity to use product, so can't really rate.
Great service and good quality product
Fast delivery, work well.
Great sticky pads, work as described
Easy to use, perfect
A little too thick and brings the plate a fair distance away from the car in comparison to some other double sided tapes on the market.
No sticky pads were in the package when it arrived even though they were supposed to be but the actual number plates are great..
great experience, great plates
CLP were great …. In fact one of the plates was damaged by the Royal Mail during delivery and they replaced it straight away for me. Great service!
Very nice plates and very efficient service
excellent service very fast delivery
Did what they are meant to do so a quality product.
Second order for me with Chase Lane. Totally happy. A stellar service!!
They stick, all I can say.
Pretty awful to peel and to try stick, peel the red plastic off and 3-4/10 peeled the sticky layer and a layer of the foam with them then actually trying to get them to stick was just as bad, only about 2-3 are holding the plates on either the sticky bit got tore off or they just never took when getting pressed and held they just popped off. Glad i managed to get the both ends and one in the middle to stick but going to have to get different ones and redo it as I've not got any faith in these to keep them on full time, i was expecting to have got out after driving to find a plate or 2 missing. Disappointed in them for the price but the plates are spot on.
Good quality
Great Sevice *****
Do exactly what they were designed to do.
Great plate. Fits nicely and looks amazing! Great addition to my car!
Good quality product and quick delivery. Would definitely use again.
The plates are high quality and look great on my car. This is the second pair I have from Chase Lane, they are an easy company to deal with.
Very easy, simple to fit with red peel off protection once fitted 👍
Sticks really well, so much so that I kept accidentally sticking my plate down when trying to line it up!
A great product very quickly and efficiently manufactured and delivered. Highly recommended.
