No tape. No drilling.
Just Klampd.
A black UV-stable ASA frame that holds your Queensland Flexi plate in a 2.65 mm groove. Black M3 grub screws hidden in the frame's edges press soft black TPU pads onto the plate's edges, so the front stays clean and nothing sticks to your plate or your paint. Swap plates in minutes, keep the frame for life.

Hidden in the edges. Nothing on the front.
The six M3 grub screws thread in from the frame's outer edges: two in the top edge and two in each side edge. Each one pushes a soft black TPU pad onto the plate's edge inside the groove. The bottom edge has no screws because it's the seat. From the front you only see a thin lip along the top and bottom border.
Tape it or drill it.
- Double-sided tape can lift in Queensland heat and marks your paint
- Drilling leaves permanent holes in a plate you paid good money for
- Moving the plate to your next car means scraping or re-drilling
Clamp it, swap it.
- No adhesive on your plate or your paint
- No holes in the plate. The frame uses your car's existing plate mounts
- Fully reusable. Loosen six edge screws and the plate slides out
How it works
Three steps, one hex key, about ten minutes a plate.
Mount the frame
Screw the frame to your car through the slotted floor, using your existing plate holes. The slots give you side-to-side adjustment and sit hidden behind the plate.
Slide the plate in
Push your Flexi plate up into the top groove, then let it drop onto the bottom lip. The lips only touch the blank border, never your characters.
Snug the grub screws
Two screws in the top edge and two in each side edge press soft black TPU pads onto the plate's edges. Snug, then one-eighth of a turn. Steel never touches the acrylic, and no screw heads show on the front.
Pick your plate size
A frame for every PPQ Flexi plate size, all at one price: A$149 each or A$199 for a front + rear set. Cars need two plates, and you can mix regular and slimline.
Sizes are from PPQ's published Prestige & Flexi dimensions. PPQ only makes Flexi plates in the Prestige range, and PPQ doesn't supply brackets for them. Size 1 (161 mm) appears only in PPQ's help-centre size chart, so we make it to order. Euro and motorcycle plates aren't made in Flexi. How to check your size

In the box
- Klampd clamp frame, black ASA, printed in one piece (no joins)
- 6 × black M3×5 cup-point grub screws (2 top edge, 4 side edges) + 2 spares
- 6 × M3 short heat-set inserts (3 mm long), fitted and hidden inside the frame
- 8 × 1.0 mm black TPU edge pads (6 + 2 spares)
- 1.5 mm hex key and printed fitting card
Engineered around a 2.3 mm plate.
We measured a real PPQ Flexi plate, then designed the groove, lips and screw stations around it. The plate floats in a 2.65 mm channel and the grub screws do the holding, so it can expand in the summer sun without cracking.
- Top-edge grubs push the plate down onto the bottom seat. Side-edge grubs centre it. All of them sit in the rim, out of sight from the front.
- Black TPU pads spread each screw's load over 10 mm of edge, so there's no point pressure on the acrylic.
- Rounded groove corners clear your plate's corners even when it's pushed fully up.
- No backing film removed. PPQ says peeling it off voids the warranty, so we never touch it.

Quick questions
Which size do I need?
Measure your plate's width and height, or check your PPQ order. Plates with 5-7 characters are 372 mm wide (Size 3), 3-4 characters are 291 mm wide (Size 2) and 1-2 characters are 161 mm wide (Size 1). Regular plates are 134 mm tall and slimline plates are 100 mm tall. Your front and rear can be different sizes, so choose "Front + rear set" and set the rear size separately. Every size is the same price.
How do I fit it?
- Hand your Remove and Attach form in to TMR first, as PPQ asks.
- Take off your old plate and screw the frame on through the floor slots, using the existing plate holes.
- Push the Flexi plate up into the top groove and lower it onto the bottom lip.
- Centre it, then use the hex key on the side-edge grub screws, then the top-edge ones: snug, plus 1/8 turn. Don't over-tighten.
- Give it a shake. Check the screws again after your first week of driving.
Is it legal in Queensland?
In Queensland your number plate has to stay clearly legible and can't be obscured or covered. Klampd's lips overlap only 1.2 mm of the blank border, and nothing covers the characters. You're still responsible for making sure the plate is fitted where it can be read, isn't blocked by a tow bar or bike rack, and has no tinted or clear cover over it. This is general information, not legal advice. Check the TMR number plate rules.
Will it void my PPQ warranty?
PPQ says double-sided tape will void the warranty and so will removing the black film on the back of the plate. Klampd avoids both, and you don't drill the plate. PPQ also says any method other than theirs "may" void the warranty, and we can't speak for PPQ. If that worries you, call PPQ on 136 356 before you fit it.
Does it work with framed Prestige plates or curved bumpers?
It suits unframed PPQ Flexi plates that are 2.3 mm thick. Framed Prestige plates already come with their own bracket. The frame is flat, so it works best in a flat or gently curved plate recess. Curved-bumper versions are in development.
Will it rattle or let water sit behind the plate?
No. Soft black TPU pads keep the plate under light pressure on three edges, and drain holes along the bottom groove let rain and wash water run straight out.
Shipping and returns?
Every frame is printed to order and usually ships within 5–8 business days. Tracked shipping is free Australia-wide (we don't ship overseas yet). If it doesn't fit, tell us within 30 days of delivery. Full details on our shipping & returns page.
Is Klampd part of PPQ?
No. Klampd is an independent Brisbane brand and isn't affiliated with Personalised Plates Queensland or the Department of Transport and Main Roads. "PPQ" and "Flexi" are used only to describe which plates the frame fits.
