Question Number plate fixings

Any recommendations for fixing number plates to a car without having to drill them?

I have used sticky number plate pads put these don't last long.

Glue?
No more nails?

Thanks in advance.

Depends what you are fastening the numberplate TO.
If it's a flat surface, I find sticky pads work well, use six, top and bottom, left, right and centre.

I only ever use silicone with a couple of pads to keep it in place till the silicone sets.
