Attach/fit car reg plates in Galway

gandroid

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get new car reg plates fitted properly in Galway. Some places I've spoken to that make the plates just say you can "screw them in" or stick a few screws in them. I don't really have any tools and would rather get them fitted neatly and properly (with rivets/bolts or whatever).

Is there somewhere that does the whole lot? Print new plates, remove the old ones and properly fit the new ones.

Thanks!

I'm fairly sure the factors next to Subway on Tuam Road can sort this, or the factors Next to Mocha Beans in the Liosboan Est.
Probably Advance Pitstop too.
Oh and the factors next to Supermacs, Tesco

Motorfactor's wouldn't normally fit them, just get them printed and bring them to any mechanic. He should fit them while you wait for no more than €10

No need for tools.... except maybe a scissors

Screws, tape or mounting frames are all proper fixings, I don't understand why you think screws are not? I've never seen bolts or rivets used.

Properly positioned screws are tidy and barely noticable if the correct colour cap is used to hide the screwhead, white to match the background, black to match the font. If they're badly placed they can look untidy (e.g. overlap the edge of the font) or alter the digit (e.g. black cap in the centre of "0" can make it look like "8").

Tape is convenient but if surfaces are not spotlessly clean or not enough tape used then there's a smallish risk of the reg plate falling off after a while.

Mounting frames still need to be screwed to the car but the screws are concealed so this is probably the neatest and most expensive choice.

Some cars (eg mine) use plastic rivets to hold the rear number plate on. The boot lid has threaded holes from the factory.
