Body colored license plate frames?

I'm pretty sure I came across a company's website that sold license plate frames that matched the MINI body colors. Does anyone know about this? If so, please direct me, because I can't seem to find it.

Can't believe I didn't think of that great idea!! He could probably cover whatever style frame I send him. Many thanks...

I had an old MINI plate that was etched with the logos. FF>> two years later, it has started rusting So I bought some paint & went to town.

About 5 coats later (and 2 MINI stickers) I am very happy with my plate frame.

It's hard to find proper pictures of my plate (before & after) while scouring my hard drive.

Sorry if they get large...I can delete them if they are a problem

First is the new plate & I loved it...Please ignore the blood...that problem has been taken care of


Then the rust started where the etching was & grew rappidly.



Now I am very happy with my plate frame again!



I guess that's about the longest way to say "Paint a frame you like the color you want"

Sorry for such a long post that might not help anyone, but thanks for looking

That's exactly what happened.
There is a shot of the hood in my gallery.
Butters and I got a way unscathed, but a little bloody

Umm, Not4no1, do you and Butters have something you want to tell us? Perhaps, er..confess? Maybe, it would relieve your mind to get something off your chest? I'm now disturbed, and I do believe I'm going to hide in an anonymous bunker, at least until the zombies and/or your murderous rampage has been squelched! Holy carp, and I did say carp! If I saw that on the road I would have chuckled deliriously or called the police, you got some moxie!
