In a previous family car, not too many years ago, I got a stern warning from
the 'locals' that I had been seen by him with the front plate on the dash
over a bit too long of a time period.
I still didn't have it done properly before the car died of a broken frame
(and it's still in my driveway), but plastic coated fencing wire works real
well. :)
