Steps for installing a license plate: 1. After receiving the license plate, there is usually a pack of secure screws included. Nowadays, vehicles require both front and rear license plates to be installed with 4 screws each, totaling 8 screw holes. 2. Take out the license plate screws, and while rotating, insert them into the anti-theft caps as shown in the figure. 3. Then, position the license plate correctly, align the screws with the four gaps on the bumper, and secure them using a cross screwdriver. A license plate refers to the vehicle registration plate, which is a panel hung on both the front and rear of the vehicle. It is typically made of aluminum, plastic, or sticker material, displaying the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other basic information. The license plate serves as an identification number for each vehicle, with its primary function being to identify the province, city, or county to which the vehicle belongs. The vehicle management office can use the license plate to trace the owner of the vehicle.
I remember the first time I installed a license plate, I forgot to prepare the tools and made a complete mess. Now I've learned to first prepare a screwdriver and license plate screws, then find a flat place to park. Clean the installation area on the rear of the car to ensure there's no dust or grease. Align the license plate with the preset holes and press it gently. Tighten the screws with the screwdriver, turning clockwise until secure. The key is to take it slow and not rush; once I tightened them too much and scratched the paint, which I regretted for a long time. Remember to check if it's secure by giving it a gentle shake to ensure it doesn't move. Avoid using old screws as they can rust and loosen. Once done, I feel much more at ease—knowing the plate is secure makes for safer driving. I usually keep a small tool bag in the car for next time. The whole process takes about ten minutes, but it gets easier with practice.
