Got a third world problem with my number plate in that it peels off as it's using the stick on pads. It's probably because it's in a surround but how do you guys fix yours to the car? I'm tempted to drill and use self tappers but don't really fancy drilling the boot. What have you done? Only used halfords sticky pads so perhaps they are shoddy

Mine are secured on using anti theft screws. Use some Hammerite or other metal protection coating to stop rust on the holes you drill in to the metal work.

I was going to use self tappers and a blob of silicone. I thought about painting but then thought the self tappers would probably etch that off anyway. Just found a cheap set in Halfords so will run with that I reckon. Thank you

Normal number plate screws with the cars are fine. I put them in covered in grease and put rubber grommets between plate and body to stop the plate rubbing the paint.
