   How do i go about fitting them?
   
   Drilling holes in the numbers and getting black caps?
   
   Is there a proper way :s?

   Can't say I have tried to take anything off after I have stuck it on. I would wait until you have painted them. can you not get more of the white plastic clips?

    i got sticky pads on the back of my standard plates and they were a c*%t to pull off so wouldn;t think they;d fall off. maybe after a few years of dirt and crap behind them maybe. mine are held on by duck tapes double sided pads
