How do I attach my manufacturer plate?
The manufacturer’s plate must must be fixed on your vehicle.
To make this task easier, we offer different fixing options when purchasing a plate. If you have access to both sides of the spar, you can choose copper rivets. Otherwise, opt for a set of POP rivets or solid rivets (SIM). A pack will always contain the number of rivets needed for your plate, and bags are also available for larger quantity requirements.
