Hey folks,
I am looking at purchasing some nice black and silver plates for Kevin. I have found some correct shaped Minor plates here:

Can anyone tell me what the best way to fix them is?
The current plastic halfords plates that i have are stuck on with double sided tape, but i am not sure that is a solid enough solution for pressed metal plates?
Any top tips greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Greg

Don't rely on tape -someone will go off with them as 'souvenirs' :roll: Stick them their own car - drive at speed through traffic cameras and fill up with petrol - without paying......... :cry:

I use small M2 or M3 button head allen stainless steel bolts since I had some plates stolen a few years ago.
They look neat and Oiks don't tend to carry around a set of allen keys.
