For drivers who have passed their P Plate test and are ready to upgrade from L Plates or for drivers who are upgrading from red P plates, their first question is often:
Where do I buy P plates holders, brackets or clips?
There are three types of P plate holders and clips:
📚 Contents
Regular P plate mounting bracket holder
Suits standard P plate sizes and fits most cars. Attaches to number plate bolts (screw off your number plate, attach the holder under your plate then screw the bolts back into the number plate holes, with the holder underneath).
Longer P plate mounting bracket holder
Suits all P plate sizes but is tailored to fit slimline number plates (fits most cars). Attaches to number plate bolts (screw off your number plate, attach the holder under your plate then screw the bolts back into the number plate holes, with the holder underneath).
Plastic P plate mounting clips
Suits all P plate sizes and reduces the risk of scratching your car. Attaches to the edge of your number plate.
