Mounting new number plates

[Leo]

Got new plates with my name on, because I am a snotty git.

Took old ones off. Nice and easy (i did use 'the force')

Cleaned up as much of the crap off the bumpers as i could using meths (some stuff remains but meh, i did the best i could)

I bought some number plate pads from the local car suff shop that wasnt halfrauds (Car Crazy)

Within a week both plates fell off.

I bought some no more nails outdoor permanent adhesive pads which stated they were "Ideal for number plates".

Within a week both plates fell off.

Now, ive been lucky they have fallen off whilst parked up else would be paying for new acrylic plates

What in gods name should i use to stick them on? Dont want to drill them, as that looks uber naff.

Should I go down the Araldite route?

I've got these on my car. Cost me £8 for the pair. Bought them on holiday same time i bought some frosted white side repeaters for my Bravo.

1. You screw the surround onto the car.

2. You slide your numberplate inside.

3. Clip on the lower bracket to lock in place.

How easy are they to steal?

And will they fit on the front bumper, it seems only big enough to hold the plate on its own..

"How easy are they to steal?"

Just as easy if they where screwed on or stuck on i guess.

They fit perfect on the front of a normal bumper and Abarth.

My normal bumper (Just about make out my old surrounds)

My abarth bumper

why do people ask if its easy to steal number plates?
mine are stuck on with sticky pads i bought at donny 05 as i got apair of clean new plates made up at a local car shop for £13 and needed to stick them on. i didn't have a drill to screw them on y'see

anyway, no-one has nicked mine.
