G'day, JUSTIN here from PPQ showing you the most straightforward way to attach your new Flexi personalised plates.
-
Video description
JUSTIN is kneeling front of the grille of the black Audi, talking directly to camera and holding up a form. The black Audi still has its standard issue plates attached.
-
JUSTIN
So after you've handed in this Remove and Attach form to your nearest Department of Transport and Main Roads...
-
Video description
JUSTIN puts down the form and playfully throws a screwdriver in the air and catches it with his hand.
-
JUSTIN
Simply remove your old plates with one of these.
-
Video description
JUSTIN then turns to the car, unscrews the number plate and takes it off the car. JUSTIN puts the screwdriver on the ground. JUSTIN holds up a black number plate with FLEXI written on it in white.
-
JUSTIN
Now because of the different designs of cars, Flexi plates have been specifically produced without mounting holes
-
Video description
JUSTIN flexes the plate slightly.
-
JUSTIN
And have been designed to flex to fit pretty much any type of car. But because of this, you do need to be gentle.
-
JUSTIN
So first off, if you have your old plate still, position them against the back of your Flexi plate…
-
Video description
JUSTIN holds the old number plate and places it against the back of the new Flexi plate. He uses a black marker to mark the holes from the old plates onto the new plates.
-
JUSTIN
…and then mark with a non-permanent marker the holes where your existing screws were.
-
Video description
In a close-up, bird’s eye view, JUSTIN holds the plate face down on a wooden board.
-
JUSTIN
Once you have your markers, drill your holes.
-
Video description
A drill is used to drill a small hole into the back of the plate as it rests on the wooden board.
-
JUSTIN
Both of the holes must be drilled slowly from the back of the plate starting with a smaller drill bit to create a pilot hole…
-
Video description
In an extreme close-up, the drill bit is removed from the drill and a larger drill bit inserted in
the drill and secured.
-
JUSTIN
And then a larger drill bit to create your screw hole.
-
Video description
A larger hole is drilled into the first hole.
-
JUSTIN
Make sure the drill bits are sharp and don't apply too much pressure
because you might crack your plate.

Give it a shake, make sure it's nice and tight and then do the same
with your rear plates.

to your nearest Department of Transport and Main Roads within 14 days.
