I used a superglue to attach my badge and it's survived plenty of washes etc and high speed blasts without any issues 👍

Looks good and secure.
What is your no. plate attached with, I haven't got a plate base for mine and the slanted shape of the bumper won't allow no. plate adhesive strips to hold.

Will be removing the plates this week to put my private plate on, will let you know then! But I have noticed the bumper shape and it looks awkward to get a good attachment! The existing plate looks to be firmly attached so I just hope it's not too difficult to remove... will post my findings once it's off 👍

Mine does have the (front) plate fitted, from factory I think... the plates were stuck on with double sided tape so my plates fitted with the same 👍 The rear plate was a pig to fit and make it secure... Uk plates too big for the area they are fitted to really, so I moved mine up slightly to ensure good adhesion.....

I haven't a front plate base on mine but do have a rear plate holder, one of those you slide the no.plate in from the bottom and lock it with a bottom locating strip.
My front plate is held on by two small white plastic covered screws and the bottom of it secured by thicker adhesive sponges now.

Does the rear plate stand proud of the boot then with the fitting you have?? Mine is tight to the boot but like I say the plates go into the curves and mean to achieve a flush fit ive had to push the plate higher on the boot panel...

Yes there are two plastic spacers on the two screw mounts on the plate base there and it clears the curves for this purpose making it easy to slide the no.plate in from bottom.
