There are few options, and the best learner plate will depend on the car you’re driving and if you’re sharing the car. We’ve listed the options here: When teaching the Mrs to drive the magnetic ones from Halfords stayed on just fine as long as you made sure the surface was clean and dry. L plates are to be used by learner drivers when they are behind the wheel. Before you head out, just make sure you have the following before you get in the driver’s seat! Whilst you're learning to drive, it is important to let other road users know when you’re behind the wheel, so that they can give you a bit more space and appreciate you may stop suddenly or be driving slower than most. L plates let you do just that and, most importantly, it’s a legal requirement for provisional driving licence holders in the UK.
Magnetic L Plates on plastic cars | Mumsnet
No massive rush, but am interested in how people fitted rear (and front for that matter) L-plates on an Up! .Although the highway code does not state newly passed drivers need to display green plates, you may want to use them to make other drivers aware of your ability. Where to put L plates on a car? Thanks for the link - I think this sounds like the way to go. Just hope I can do it without having to take the bumper off! Going off slightly at a tangent, when I was a youngster, some of the plastic footballs used to come with reapir kits and adaptors, and I became quite adept at mending them. You had a little, flat headed soldering iron, which you heated on a gas burner (remember, I was only about 8 - 10 when I did this - no "elf and safety:D), and then carefully held the iron against the puncture on the football - too much pressure and heat and you destroyed it, but get it just right and all you could see was a tiny swirl on the surface - happy days:)

We’ve got theory test and hazard perception study aids for cars, LGVs and motorcycles too. Out of curiosity how do you think I could achieve the 'look' pictured in my OP? I would definetly like the plate to be reflective as I would rather not be blatantly illegal, would the plate need to be tailor made to the bumper? If so how could one go about doing this?Valid learner insurance - as you’re not yet a full licence holder, you will need to have learner insurance before you set off!

Ring your local bodyshop/dentmaster to see if they do plastic welding. Bumpers can be made to look as good as new for not very much. Factory steel bumpers are nice. Winch capable, decently durable and have a nice finish. If you are worried about the plastic bumpers fading or don't want to deal with buying/installing aftermarket bumpers, the steel bumpers are great.MoneySavingExpert.com is part of the MoneySuperMarket Group, but is entirely editorially independent.
