With an absolutely beautiful day, I got down on my rear and installed the euro front plate and chrome surround. We love the look. Also finally installed the chrome side repeater vents although we've had the white lights on for some time.

Now we know we can tell the difference between the copy cat neighbor.
What do you all think?

Thanks Xanthus, coming from one of the kings of mods in means a lot.
AND thanks - NOT - for spoiling one of her Xmas gifts.
Now I'll have to think of something else as a surprise. (JK)

 

Very cool. What did you have before? one of Roadshow's tags?
Is it possible to have NO front tag on an MC? Will I end up with an indent in the bumper if I do that, or is there a no plate insert to cover that? My MC is on the way, so i cannot visualize it yet.

WOW, really, lol

I just love to mess with my car, lol

Wanna see a real nice PW Mini, look in the Bay Area Minis website http://www.bayminis.com and look in the images. Minimad did a REALLY nice little pinstripe the length of the car that I think would not look good on ANY other color but the PW.

We removed the Roadshow plate the first weekend. Then we removed the U.S. plate insert a few weeks later. Ordered the plate from FancyPlates in the UK and the chrome frame from Germany. There is a nicely finished Euro-sized space under the US Plate adapter, but there is no other insert to fill the space.
