Default Euro plate mounting

Just got my custom Euro plate from EuropeanPlatesLLC. As you can guess, the bracket is not contoured to fit the bumper, its one size kinda fits all. I was looking for ways to mount this bitch. Andrew149 says the only way its gonna fit flush and last is with screws. Does anyone else know of anything? I'd really rather not screw holes in my bumper just in case I dont like it. I've heard of industrial velcro, 3M double sided tape... any other ideas? If I do need to do screws, which I have, where is the best place to screw into? Pics soon.
