After seeing yours at the meet last weekend I ordered one. Although a contributing factor is b/c the state quoted me $95 for a personalized tag, and I'm sorry, LA personalized tags are SO SAD looking!

Not a Euro, per se, but this is the plate my MINI started with (to get it back to the states)

MINIFiredancer's plates are here! I ordered two plates, one for my husband (blumini) and the other for me from Europlates.com. Please know that you have to order the mounting frame separately. The order arrived in 2 1/2 weeks, install was two step easy! Enjoy the photos.....

Here's mine... just ordered from Europlates two weeks ago yesterday, and it arrived last night! Looks good with my blacked out grille IMO.

My husband is the one who named my car, btw - I'm "kitty lady" to our 4 cats who follow me around like pups.

Next on the list for Murr Purr is a set of chili pepper bonnet stripes designed by Aesthetic Creations. They'll be similar to the chili pepper roof graphic they sell--white with chili peppers and black pinstripes/borders.

I just got a Euro plate. Just one. And I'm trying to figure out a good way to place it on my MINI. The big issue I run into is I have 2 plates. And I live in a state where I need to have 2 plates. So with that said, anyone have a good idea of where to place my Euro plate? I was thinking in the black mesh grill in the front underneath the current plate or on the rear bumper below the hatch.

You could do what i did. The white strip on my ohio plate lines up perfectly with the white of the euro plate....from afar you can only make out the euro tag

as that does look awesome, unfortunately CT plates don't match up to the plate I got. But thanks for the suggestion!

Here's mine - while getting the windows tinted a couple of months ago:


The Euro plate was a must for me because it had an ugly "adaptor" bracket on the front for the US plate (it covered up part of the grill!). I took it off and there was a little niche for the euro plate!

Mount the euro plate in the middle and get a Go MINI Go no holes license plate holder for your state plate.

California/europlate

I replaced my front California license plate with a europlate.com one. The plate is the same 7 digits as my CA plate with no problems/tickets yet. Someone I work with has a C30 with the same setup (CA tag on a europlate) and she hasn't had any problems either. I'm willing to risk the $25 bucks for the cool factor...

This week I finally decided it was time to settle on a name for my baby, and I've ordered her a European plate for the front to make it official. Once they arrive and they're installed, I'll post a nice official picture for all to see.

Good to hear, I've been meaning to do this forever. Did you apply the tag expiration decal onto the euro plate as well?

Defininitely worth the "fix it" ticket IMO
