I used some clear silicon adhesive that is designed to stick mirrors to walls - It comes off easily enough without damaging the paintwork but I can't remember the brand - I'm sure most hardware stores will have something suitable though. Also used the same stuff for my Stainless Kick Plates.

Ah well ya didn't say it was for the rear,

Ok how about this..... ya know garden sheds have them swivel type catches well attach them to the back of the number plate top/bottom and sides (so that when plate is in the recessed area they just make it thro the hole). place number plate into recess reach in behind the bumper. and turn then into position so that the side of the hole in the rear bumper is caught between the plate and the latch. Make sure its nice and tight and to be really sure place silicone over them to stop them from moving and voila no nasty screws showing and no screw holes
