I mounted mine with numberplate sticky pads. The front one has little to stick to but has never fallen off, even when I had an unexpected off road excursion.

There are piccies in my archive.

I remember seeing someone who used cabinet hinges for their front plate, which looked pretty good, although slightly illegal as the plate conviniently dissapears under the car at speed.

A long time ago, when I built my 2B, I riveted two bent strips of ally under the nose cone and stuck the plate on to them.
