What is the best method of attaching a front number plate to an S1 Elise without the standard plinth?

Is it with Velcro Tape or should I just drill into the clam with self tappers?

I used sellotape double sided foam tape on my S1 (it didnt have a plinth either).

Dont screw it on, as when it gets ripped off (and it will at some point!) it`ll make more mess.

I found storing it in the boot works well.

Also, I drilled two holes in the plate to match the holes in the clam for the left and right plinth mounting screws. It casues the plate to angle down a bit

Go to B&Q and get some heavy duty velcro strips. Clean the clam and the back of the plate with alcohol to ensure it's completely clean and dry, then apply one half to the car, and the other half to the plate.

As mentioned above, it tends to angle the plate downwards slightly... which is nice
