My dealer-fitted front number plate fell off too after a few weeks as the tape they used was pathetic.

Don't go drilling holes!!

I simply used Halfords 6mm double-sided fixing pads (3 in a pack), sticking them horizontally along the top half of the plate. They grip on the vertical panel below the grille and the 6mm keeps them away from the curved lower section.

They've now been on for 12 months through winter, power washing and now hot weather and are still securely fixed.

From memory around £3.50 a pack, I did the rear plate too after first bonding it to a nice stainless steel backing surround plate.
