Hi guys.

I have a stock MCS with the standard bumpers. I have never bothered to put on a front plate. I have a friend who is over in England right now, and he is going to bring back a Euro plate for me.

So I was just wondering if a few people who have a U.S. MCS with the stock bumpers (not Aero Kit or any other modified bumper) could post some pics of their cars with the Euro plate on it.

Thanks!

 

NY requires a front plate, so I stuck it in the air dam. Only half the plate covers the actual air inlet

 

 

Here are pics of my new euro plates. I ordered them and the frame from Mattman Enterprises (http://www.mattman-enterprises.com/home.html). I installed them with zip ties so they can be removed later.

I got the idea for the first one from the Steve Wariner/Garth Brooks duet "Katie Wants A Fast One" (KTs Fast 1). The second one was my husband's pick and we can switch them around if we want.

 

I wonder if my state will allow me to put a Euro style plate on if it has the letters and number of the normal plate.

 

I thought the same thing....and my conclusion is that it all depends on the cop and the kind of day he is having. I'm sure that if you got a nice cop that wasn't too angry, you could explain it to him and he would let you get away with it. If its a cop really looking to snag you, he still would.

I've run without a plate for over a year (knock on wood) without any problems...so i doubt the euro plate would be different.

 

Well I am trying to do my car the legal way So maybe I'll stick with the normal horrible plate on my front bumper. Although it looks like crap on my Aero bumper.

 

Move to Florida! No front plate requirement.

 

I had the holes in the bumper from the regular plate and just filled them the Euro plate.

 

None in West Virginia, either - although I don't expect to see a huge migration of MINIs and their owners to the Mountain State.

 

Mountains mean tons of twisties right
