Flexi Plate Mounting Mistakes That Could Cost You $295+


When mounting your PPQ Prestige Flexi Plates, using double-sided tape might seem like an easy solution. However, this "quick fix" often leads to costly damage to your plates, car paint, and even legal issues. Here’s why tape is a risky choice and why Bracket Buddy™ offers a safer, smarter alternative.





The Risks of Using Tape

1. Damage to Plate Lettering

Double-sided tape can adhere too strongly to the delicate lettering on Flexi Plates. When removed, it often peels off the backing, rendering plates illegible and non-road-legal.

Potential Costs:

  • Plate replacement fees: Over $295
  • Fines for damaged plates: Up to $240


2. Harm to Your Car’s Paintwork

Strong adhesives can strip paint, leave sticky residue, and trap grime, while cleaning attempts can cause scratches or swirls.

Repair Costs:

  • Paint repairs or resprays: Hundreds of dollars


3. Legal & Safety Concerns

Damaged or poorly mounted plates can fall off, posing road hazards and potential liability.

Legal Risks:

  • Fines for illegible plates: $240
  • Liability for accidents caused by lost plates
