Take a screw out of your front and rear number plates to check compatabilty on these. When i changed to my private plate I was shocked to find one set being self tapers and the other being a metric screw thread M4 or something. I've had the car from new and couldn't belive Skoda use a different screw thread front and rear!!

Personally I prefer no more nails on a roll, they are not coming off with that.

It makes me cry when I see an expenive car with the numberplate held in by crappy self tapping screws.

ive got a big massive box of tamper proof bolts sat at work, we give them out for free to anyone who wants them
so if you pop down to your local plod shop they may have some to give out

Not exactly high security though, a pair of cir-clip pliers would undo them very easy.
A better way and much cheaper way would be to pop rivet them on
