Euro License Plate

For the MINI, which euro plate would you get?

Great Britain vs. German
(MINI is made by in Oxford,England but by a German company)

Also where is the best place to get a custom one? Thanks

I have done business with this company. http://www.licenseplates.tv/

No problems and great product.

You can also mount the plate with 3M double sided tape not using any sort of bracket. It what I ended up doing.

Those black ABS Euro brackets most companies sell are of a clam shell design and the outer plastic frame when closed over the plate ends up covering the new license plate's outline trim color . Looked odd IMO.

This is an older post and probably already done, but I was stuck with that dilemma too, I just went for the German plate. My friends gave me sh%T but I felt the need to get a German plate. I got mine from,

I've dealt with europlates.com and their shipment was surprisingly quick.

I'll be ordering another plate from them soon

Oh, the first plate was German.. second one will be British.
