Name Plaque

I have not seen any correspondence about fixing screws in the corners, but as the song says - "Whatever will be will be" and that would seem to end the matter.

Dare I suggest that the best way of incorporating screw holes will be to add to the existing periphery a sufficient width of plain chrome border to encompass the screw heads without their nibbling into the black enamel background of the plaque; this will increase the overall size of the plaque, but I don't suppose this would matter?
