How do you affix yours?

I know about bolting them into the body work. But Ive also read about industrial velcro ( ideal for me, as I can just strip it off when Im not taxi'ing and in my day job)

What do you use and prefer? Are there any other options?

DOH! You are not allowed to remove the plate when you are not working. Go back to class and start again.

Councils are able to grant an exemption from displaying the plate but I doubt that they will give you the exemption.
