how to get rear plate off

[Martin_172]

my mate got new reg plates for his 1.2 dynamique and the front plate is screwed on (all of mine were screwed) but his back 1 is a funny thing! i thought it would be a torx screw when he was telling me but it doesnt look like one, anyone know what this is...

Looks like its a rivet to me.

or a really worn torx. cut a slot in it and screwdriver it out, or drill it out.

Some are riveted on, carefully needs drilling out by the looks of it.

 

[Middo]

probably is a rivet, but who in their right mind would rivet a numberplate in?...



..oh actually renault would lol

Bloody hell.... why on earth rivet a numberplate on????

I've done 34700 miles with both front/back plates stuck-on with no probs.

(I lost my front plate once, driving through 1ft of water @ 60MPH - hardly surprising).

kinda thought it could be a rivet but didnt think they would rivet a plate on lol

how do u drill a rivet out?

 

[davebem]

Get a drill and push it through the hole in the rivet until it wrecks the rivet and probably the plate, on my mums Clio the plates are riveted on.

Why Dont Oyu Just Use The Smallest Drill Poss [well Sensible] And Thn Just Get Bigger N Bigger Bore It Out Sort Of Thing

Looks like the French are back on form, needing a drill to remove a numberplate...

 

[Leeshez]

They rivet them on so that is the only part of the car that does not fall off LOL

The number plate on my 52 172 is stuck on, are all the Renault Sport number plated stuck on?
