Halfords have usually got 2 kinds, the ones on the shelf which are sh*t and the ones they keep behind the parts counter.

I lost a numberplate due to the crappy ones on the shelf, I told the guy behind the counter that and he gave me the better ones for free!

Not used it on license plates but I've always found the double sided foam tape from B&Q quite strong!

I'm not sure the difference between the two was thickness, I think they were a different make altogether.

Of course you still need to make sure you've cleaned both surfaces with meths/alcohol to get as good a stick as possible.

Yep just looked on halfords and the cut strips don't have great reviews whereas this one does so hopefully it does the job Smile
