What in your opinion is the best fixing for new number plates? the options I have are as follows,
1, Plastic bolts and nuts
2, Self tapping screws with snap on covers
3, Double sided adhesive tape

Anyone any preferences or experiences

Velcro so you can remove it when you go thru speed cameras when the cops arent around then slap it back on when you get back

Double sided tape used on front - screws with plastic covers on the back (small plate on front though so screws look bad)

I work for a plate maker and I always suggest people use the special number plate sticky pads from Halfords if you don't want to drill them. (Don't get the plates from Halfords though )

If you are planning on drilling the plates always drill on a solid surface like a plank of wood or a kitchen top make sure you drill from the back of the plate to the front and go completley through the plate into the wood. Don't put the drill on hammer and use a slowish speed
