Hi Jim, my front plate (plastic) is held on my four screws, one at each corner.
That way it bends to the curve of the holder.
The screws have coloured caps, two white and two blue (for the Euro flag section).
Can't honestly recall if they're self-tapping or what.....
Rear plate uses two standard black plastic bolts which happen to coincide with black sections of the plate.....
Maybe I was lucky finding some of the correct thread, it was so long ago.....
I have a whole collection of spares picture now attached. You can see the original Audi metal bolts in the collection, they needed rather large domed covers.
Probably bought those plastic ones online, maybe M6 thread, not sure........ (Something like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yellow-Bl...2/373039266833 )
