Pros: good bond, flexible, many uses
Cons: only 4 meters on a roll
Car Make Renault
"Have just purchased my second roll.
The first roll I had was purchased to fix some number plates on one of my cars but I found it so good I used up the rest of the roll for other motor and diy jobs and needed to get another for the next job on the list.
Sticks well and if the item is left for 48 hours it cures to form a really strong bond.

"Generally this tape is rather good as long as you don't expect it to stick number plates onto SLIGHTLY curved surfaces. The tape worked well on the rear of my vehicle, which was flat. But, it really struggled on the front bumper as it was slightly curved. In the end I had to use some thicker double sided tape on the outer edges to compensate for the lack of adhesion from the very thin Harris tape, therefore using twice the quantity due to the failure of the initial attempt using only the Harris tape.
So overall, not bad but certainly not quite right for purpose."

"Used this tape in October 2012. Excellent product, easy to peel off backing tape and plates stick very solidly. I reckon I have enough left after fixing two plates to do a further two."

Pros: can cut into custom strip lengths, easy to apply to plate, quick adhesion to plastic, strong bond achieved overnight, build up strip layers for curved surfaces
Cons: both surfaces must be clean before fixing
Car Make FIAT, Toyota & Vauxhall
"Rear Number Plate fell off Motorhome - hot sunny day in Cornwall. Converter had used standard three adhesive pads and after 6 six years adhesive had failed.
Smartphone App found nearest Halfords, store assistant recommended this product and suggested applying 6x Vertical Strips either side of failed original pads in order to obtain best adhesion - job done!

"Strong stuff, and easy to get on with - it doesn't adhere immidiately or stick to your fingers too much, but once its stuck, its stuck!
My rear number plate is only secured with the tape at each end as the screw holes are not flush, however even with a bend in the plate, still held on very firmly.
Only niggle, not that much tape on the real - plenty for just two plates, but expected a bit more for the price."

"I did not want to make holes in the cars body work to attach my new number plates. So bought this item hoping it would do the job. It has certainly done that. The plate has not moved at all even after power washing the car and being parked in all weathers. I recommend this Item just make sure the surface is clean an dry before putting in place

Pros: reliable fix
Cons: none
"More expensive than some options, but I required 100% confidence it would do the job. Used this product to fix a number plate to the back plastic panel of my caravan. Super strong fix first time.
Just be sure it's lined up OK when you push on as you won't move it after!! I think the number plate would shatter before the tape unstuck, which is exactly what I wanted.
Also I have plenty of the tape left over to do other jobs around the house.

Pros: strong, padded, better value than pads
Cons: still not cheap
"Slightly padded strong double sided tape.
As the name suggests its great for sticking number plates on cars.
Not cheap but still better value than just getting a set of 4 or 8 pads as you will still have plenty left after sticking a set of plates on.
I am sure I will find a dozen other uses and have already used it to secure a couple of other items.
