3M self adhesive strips which are pre fitted to the plates - they are so sticky it's a struggle to get the backing off of them - I've never seen anything as sticky!
Alas, now you need UK instead of GB... although on a recent trip to Macron/MicronLand, there were plenty of GB-equipped cars that weren't being pulled over by Les Flics
I presume by short plate you're thinking a fair bit shorted than standard. From the pictures on here and from memory I don't think they're a lot closer than a full size plate as they're screwed in the corners of the holder so you're probably out of luck without filling.

I am surprised by the number of holes there! I was expecting just two closer to the centre.I presume by short plate you're thinking a fair bit shorted than standard.

Did you have to bend the front plate much with it being so curved, was fitting ok, did it stick down ok?

Will be installing my Fourdot plates this weekend. Funny thing is first time I bought from them was on my SQ5

I can't figure out how to stick a rigid plastic plate on the front.
Its just too curvy vertically for any of the sticky pads I have, The plate touches along the top and bottom edges only. Particularly if I don't place it any higher than the original bracket (to avoid blocking the radar).
So I tried sticking it to the original plastic plinth (without the surround part) but the plastic is textured and the 3M stickies don't stick very well. I wouldn't trust it.
I can't figure out how anyone else has done it. Is there a source of really thick stickies somewhere? or should I be looking around for a slimmer version of the plastic plinth with a good surface to stick to?
