whats the best way to get this surround to bend flushed to the bumper (have taken the original surround off)

was thinking tape but dont want to leave any residue

Are there no holes for screws under the plate like the OEM one?

I see the holes but you need 4 x push fit clips to secure the plate holder in place but as that's an aftermarket no plate holder it will be a problem which is why I screwed mine down with self tap screws :signLOL:

yes ive only put 2 of the screws from the oem as the holes in surround are all awkward sizes so only got 2 screws in... annoying though as it will slide up and down slightly lol....

I put 1 in each corner and 2 about a quarter in each side top and bottom of that makes sense so the holder is firmly secured and sits flush so no poking out either corners of middle  :happy2:
