probably go for the screwfix metal ones.

nothing can be SCREWED into the mirror frame as this is no "frame". it's a glass mirror and it's all glass. you can see the fixing that is on the mirror in the image i attached to the opening post. so to confirm, standard rawl plugs will hold well over 6kg even when the item is essentially just...

whilst i appreciate all repsonses, can i just get the advice i asked for? which is specifically about which rawl plugs i need. i'm not going to pull off the glued on brackets (weakening them in the process) on the back of the mirror just so it matches a stud position.
