Smallest Detail?

Disclaimer: I know this is an irrelevant detail, but it's how my disturbed mind works.
I was not happy with the bolts that attached my tag & tag frame to the trunk. I googled an alternative and discovered the thread type, low & behold they are same as the bolts that hold a bottle cage to a bicycle frame. So I got some anodized blue bottle cage bolts and trimmed them down 6+-mm. Now it looks proper.

I think i need to center bolts on slots. Too much white in slot.

It's CDO! Put the letters in their correct alphabetical order!

Just black out the blue dots and white blanks with a black marker pen.

And instead of screws, you can also use rivets (if you don't intend to take it off for a long time + if you don't want others to remove it).
