    The listing says they come with sticky pads. If they are no good then you can buy a roll of number plate tape for a few quid in motorsave or Halfords

    Or maybe better to drill the plates more secure right

    screw fixings stick out a mile , look ugly and spoil the clean lines.

    not to mention drilling holes eventually lets water get inbetween the backing plate and vinyl lettering sheet

    why spend 30 notes on a plate just to put cheap yellow plastic caps on top ?

    tape or pads will be fine , my rear plate has been stuck on for 18 months now & it looks much better without fixings   :-)

    Use a plate holder attached to the original screw holes.

    Insert the plate and then you have no visible holes.
