MINI euro-style plates. Not custom.

Does anyone know if these euro-style plates actually exist? I've seen the custom euro plates available online, but the MINI plates I see in promo photos like this look different.

"MINI euro-style plates. Not custom."

It's a standard size plate imprinted with a custom graphic, so I don't understand what you mean by "not custom".

pkunk linked a vendor who can put anything you want on a customized plate. If you don't want to use a standard license plate style font, give them a graphic that they will reproduce onto the plate, or tell them another font to use.

Cool. That would work. I was wondering if there was a ready-made solution since I see these in photos all the time. I'll go the custom route if needed.

Seen those plates only on MINI's at Showrooms across the pond....they are not embossed, made of ABS plastic.

Maybe purchase an un-embossed metal plate from Custom Euro Plates ( get their clear plastic protective cover too ) in black with silver boarder, then have a vinyl shop print you up "MINI COOPER S" and apply that to the blank plate.

Those are dealer or carshow plates. Some MINIs for certain models , we can get the euro plate holder mount, but not the show plates.
