Screw the surround to your bumper then use double sided tape to hold the plate to the surround

No thats wrong, I got some a few weeks ago the plate surround seperates and you slide your plates in and then reclip the surround then use your oriinal screw holes in the plates to go through the bumpers where they were  :wink:

Please explain how I am wrong yours is simply another way of doing it I have used tape and mine is still on after 2 yrs I used the original holes as well from where the old number plate was screwed on!!! Perhaps next time a better choice of words would be or another way is!!!

Because you can't just stick the plate on, you have to clip it in place otherwise it doesn't fit.
