Sooner or later, a car enthusiast asks himself the question: How should I attach my license plate and get rid of the ugly advertising on the license plate holder? Should it also be practical and look good? We have the solution: And it's called a magnetic license plate holder! If you like taking photos of your car or going to meetings, then magnets are the best solution for you!
In this paragraph we will introduce you to the magnetic license plate holder with the magnets on the bumper and explain the advantages and disadvantages.
First, let's clarify the question: Are magnetic license plate holders even allowed in Germany?
To be honest, it is a gray area in Germany and many police officers have a problem with it.
You should therefore read the legal text beforehand.
It reads as follows:
According to FZO:
§ 10 FZV – Design and attachment of license plates
(Paragraph 5) License plates must be present and firmly attached to the front and rear of the motor vehicle.
According to Duden, " firm " is defined as: tight [sitting], sticking; not loose
Since the license plate is “ firmly ” attached with our holders, attaching the magnetic license plate holders is permitted within the legal framework and is not prohibited.
Customers who were warned and sued against it always won because this law is vaguely described.
Tip: Print out our performance certificate and put it in the car!
Who are the magnetic license plate holders for?
For everyone who loves their car, strives for good looks, occasionally takes pictures of the car and drives it to meetings. Just take a quick photo of the car without having to obscure the license plate afterwards. Looks clean with or without a license plate and offers many advantages, for example when washing your car.
How does the magnetic license plate holder work?
We use 4 magnets per license plate, in which the strongest neodymium magnets are installed. Two of them go on the body and the other two go behind the license plate. These are attached using 3M and interlock positively so that slipping is impossible. Optionally, the magnets can be screwed to the body.
Which magnetic license plate holders are right for me?
That depends on how much effort you want to invest and what look you're going for.
There are two variants of magnets.
Variant 1 : Magnets that are attached to the bumper and behind the license plate (easy installation)
Variant 2 : Magnets that are attached behind the bumper and behind the license plate. (time-consuming assembly, but 100% clean bumper)
A table of advantages and disadvantages of magnets on the bumper:
In the next paragraph we answer questions:
Do the magnets hold even at high speeds?
The answer is yes !
Speeds are not a problem. Numerous tests at speeds over 300 km/h have shown that the magnets are strong enough to withstand these speeds effortlessly. We also produce in Germany under the highest quality standards and only use the best materials such as neodymium magnets and 3M VHB high-performance adhesive tape.
The 3M high-performance adhesive tape, which is used to attach the magnets to the body and license plate, is more prone to errors. You have to make sure that the surface is carefully prepared during assembly so that a good adhesive connection can take place. If you follow the instructions, the magnet will hold securely and you won't have to worry at all.
Is the assembly complex?
Our magnets are super quick and easy to assemble . Clean the body and license plate, attach magnets to the body, sand the license plate and fill in the license plate recess, place the magnets for the license plate on the ones attached to the body, press the license plate on, done. You will receive all the materials and detailed assembly instructions so that nothing stands in the way of smooth assembly.
How far is the license plate from the body?
The distance between the body and the license plate is a maximum of 0.5cm . It is possible to adapt the license plate to the body. This way you can reduce the distance even further.
Do the magnets fit every license plate?
Regardless of whether it is a short, long or two-line license plate, our magnetic license plate holder is suitable for all license plate sizes and countries . There is an extra set for 3D license plates.
Do the magnets also hold in the car wash?
Every bumper and every car wash is different. As a rule, the magnet can withstand the forces of the car wash. However, with unfavorable bumpers it can happen that the brush gets behind the license plate and pries it off. We therefore recommend removing the license plate beforehand!
Can the magnets be removed without leaving any residue?
Yes, that is possible. We use extra high-quality, high-performance adhesive tape from the world market leader 3M. This was designed for paint systems and can be removed without leaving any residue or damaging the paint.
Conclusion : Of course, attaching license plates with magnets is not the cheapest choice, but it looks very good on the car with and without a license plate and has many practical advantages.
