| Video description | Tyran uses an Allen key to unscrew the grub screws on the frame of a new Prestige Plate. He then removes the bracket. |
| TYRAN | Now, take the Allen key that comes with your plates and use it to separate your mounting bracket from the Prestige Plate by loosening the three grub screws here. |
| Video description | Tyran puts the bracket up against the car, where the Personalised Plate will be attached. He uses a screwdriver to attach the bracket. |
| TYRAN | Next, align the slots in your bracket with the existing holes in your bumper. Secure the bracket at your desired height using the same screws to screw them onto the vehicle. |
| Video description | Tyran puts the lip of the plate into a groove on the bracket. He then clicks it in. |
| TYRAN | Then, insert the lip on the back of the prestige plate into the groove at the top of the mounting bracket. |
| TYRAN | Your plate should now hang from the bracket, and the bottom lip of the bracket should align with the slot in the bottom of the plate frame. |

Attached Flexi Prestige Plates
| Video description | A man, Tyran, stands in front of a car with standard issue plates. He talks while holding up a Flexi Plate. |
| TYRAN | G’day, Tyran here from PPQ. I am here to show you the easiest way to attach your new Flexi Prestige Plates. |
| Video description | The PPQ logo appear in the top left corner. The video title appears in a large white text. The title says: Attaching Framed prestige Plates. |
| TYRAN | This method of attachment will work for the full range of Flexi Prestige Plate designs. |
| Video description | Tyran crouches in front of a car. He’s holding up a Remove and Attach Form. |
| TYRAN | After you have handed in your remove and attach form to your local Department of Transport, you can begin attaching your new Personalised Plates. |
| Video description | Tyran unscrews the screws on the standard issue number plate. |
| TYRAN | Simply remove your old plates with a screwdriver. |
| Video description | In close up, Tyran’s hands hold the Flexi Plates. |
| TYRAN | Now because of the different designs of cars, Flexi plates have been specifically produced without mounting holes, so that you can fit them perfectly to your car. |
| TYRAN | Because they’re made from Perspex, you do need to be gentle. |
| Video description | Tyran holds a standard issue number plate up against the Flexi Plate. Using a marker pen, he uses the holes in the standard issue number plate to mark the Flexi Plate. |
| TYRAN | So, if you want to use the same drill holes as your previous plates, line up where your old plates were drilled and make a mark with a non-permanent marker. |
| Video description | Tyran holds up the Flexi Plate to the car he is crouching beside. |
| TYRAN | Or if you have other holes specific to your car's recess that you would like to use - make sure you mark where these are on the plate before drilling. |
| Video description | A power drill bores a hole through the back of the Flexi Plate using a small drill bit. |
| TYRAN | Once you have your markers, drill your holes. All of the holes must be drilled slowly from the back of the plate, starting with a smaller drill bit to create a pilot hole. |
| Video description | Tyran changes the small drill bit for a larger one. Then bores a hole through the back of the Flexi Plate using a larger drill bit. |
| TYRAN | And then a larger drill bit to create your screw hole. Make sure the final hole is slightly larger than your screw size as the screw may expand as the weather changes. |
| Video description | Tyran crouches beside the car, screwing on the Flexi Plate with a screwdriver. |
| TYRAN | Once the holes are drilled, match the plate to your car and simply use the same screws as before to screw them in. |
| Video description | Tyran ensures the plate is secure. |
| TYRAN | There, now give it a gentle shake and make sure it’s secure to the car and then do the same for the rear. |
| Video description | Tyran sits in front of the car. |
| TYRAN | And remember, if you’re replacing your old standard issue plates, make sure to surrender them to your local Department of Transport and Main Roads within 14 days. After that, you’re all done! |
| TYRAN | Time to show off your new Personalised Plates! |

| TYRAN | You may have noticed that these plates don’t come with pre-drilled holes. PPQ made sure they were made this way so that they can custom fit to your car and ensure that they are the perfect finishing touch. |
| Video description | TYRAN shows the Department of Transport and Main Roads Remove and Attach form. |
| TYRAN | So, after you’ve handed in this Remove and Attach form to your local Department of Transport and Main Roads, you can begin attaching your new personalised plates. |

| TYRAN | Once you've done that, take your plate and place it on a workbench. |
| Video description | The plates have been placed on a workbench. A close up of the number plate shows the black marks where holes need to be drilled. TYRAN works on one number plate at a time. The number plate is on a piece of wood, face up, and a clear ruler is placed over top of it measuring the black marks horizontally and vertically. |
| TYRAN | Measure the horizontal and vertical distance of your front markers |
| Video description | The plate is then flipped over showing the silver side where TYRAN measures and marks the plates again – it’s the same distance as what he marked on the front of the plate. |
| TYRAN | and transpose them onto the back of your plate. |
| Video description | The plate is lying face down on a wooden board. An electric drill then drills into the newly measured black marks on the number plate. |
| TYRAN | Now grab a drill and drill your holes. Make sure you don't apply excess pressure and only use a sharp drill bit. |
| TYRAN | Once the holes are drilled, match the plates up to your car and use the same screws as before to attach them to your car. |
| Video description | TYRAN is holding the newly drilled number plate, he aligns the plate to the existing holes in the car, and he uses a screwdriver to attach the new number plate to the car. We zoom in on him screwing these in. |
| TYRAN | There. Then give the plate a shake and make sure it’s secure to the car and then do the same with the rear. |
| Video description | TYRAN holds onto the bottom of the plate with two hands and shakes the plate forward and back briefly to check it is secure. |
