I refixed MY recently stolen plates with double sided sticky tape provided by the number plate seller.
The thing is that if you just stick your plates on, if someone wants them they can and will remove them.
You could probably used Araldite or similar to make a stronger fix, but a potential theif will think that he's dealing with sticky tape / pads and who knows what damage it will do the car when he starts levering them off

If it ain't broke, fix it till it is

Halfords do security screws that cant be taken out, they may help.

All done guys thanks for the advice surface was totally clean and was at room temp I guess as the back black number plate surround was in my house for a whole day. Halford has now served it rite so far so good guys
