Ha, Hyland. Your car is very similar to mine. 2011 BGR II MCS. Good call!

I like both, but I think A would get my vote, too.

Well - I'm all for heritage; considering yours was, I'm assuming, built in England, I'd pay tribute and buy the one that's as authentic as possible as a plate from Old Blighty - go for plate a (but with the UK symbol)!

(of course to be truly authentic you'd have two letters [area code], two numbers [age], a space, and three more numbers [random].. if you can do a personal plate... )

I assume you know the symbol on the left is the EU country... If you're looking for one that's a EU country that has meaning to you like the one you picked, go for it!

Thanks Wandrur, I'm leaning in that direction as well.
Cary, fantastic suggestions! Here in CO the law requires a front plate. I'm doing the best I can to avoid the bulky American plate out front and go with a slimline euro plate with an equally slim holder. I'm not sure though as where to find an authentic euro slim frame. The ones that come, or are offered with these plates have almost a 2/3 inch border on the bottom that would look bulkier than what I ideally desire. Just my $.02.
