dont bother with the clear over the top. it adds weight you dont need.

They just look nicer and more factory made with the clear on and a bit of depth to them. without it it just doesnt look right up against the car.

ive just been and got one from the garage, i see what you mean now. i think its also because the carbon doesnt take shape of the back of the letters too.

scalple pin holes in the bubbles and use the handle of the scalple to run the air out, once it is all gone, put a very tiny bleb of clear nail varnish over the pin prick to seal it and stop water getting back in

what would be best to do, is to keep it how it is but instead of having the clear plastic cover, i think* i can get a clear film that is used as a shatter resitant for windows.

Feebs Just my opinion but this seems like so much bullshit for carbon backed plates ? why not get the old style plastic letters that plug onto the back plate ? then it maintains its retronicity ?

thinking of making a couple up tomorow, with the lettering on top of the perspex. Fitted one to my car iwthout the 'depth' to it and it looks rubbish, looks like a sticker.

Sounds like you need to get a large quantity of numbers and letters made into a DXF and water-jet cut from 3/4mm thick plastic.
