Fitting kick plates

are you talking about chequer-plate?

Yes, Treworgy 90, chequer plate. In Oz (where I'm not from), they apparently call these things "scuff plates".

well, first off - don't fit it, it's naff and we don't approve.

second off, if you really really have to fit it, you'll need a drill and a pop riveter.
simply align the plate where you want it, drill through the plate and the body panel with a 4mm drill bit and fit a 4mm aluminium pop-rivet. take care with what's behind where you're drilling!
if you can get closed-end (blind) rivets, so much the better - they keep the water out.
you can cut the plate with a hacksaw or a metal-cutting blade in a jig-saw and smooth out the edges with a file.

These chequer plates are for inside the door, so they're going onto the interior door trim.

Still a 4mm aluminium pop rivet, is it (closed end-blind-best)?

Yes, one must be careful about what's behind, but sometimes isn't it impossible to know?

oooh! ffs

Aye, FFSing out loud.
