Most plates fit using the existing screw holes on your vehicle. You can add a fitting kit to your order at checkout, which includes stainless steel screws and caps. Sticky pads are also a popular alternative for a clean, screw-free look.
Fitting is straightforward for most vehicles and takes under 10 minutes. Remove the old plate, align the new one over the existing holes, and secure with screws or sticky pads. No specialist tools required.
