i have a bracket for mine. it has like 200 holes in it for all types applications and it screws in to the place for the regular front plate. then my euro plate slides into place and then it clips over it.

I don't get it ... what does it say?

You fumble a lot of punts?
You're always dropping the pole out on the River Cam?
You're a small-sized person who drops things?
You're always dropping your beer mug?
You know Jean-Luc Ponty and you're a name dropper?

What? I don't get it!

Actually, as it turns out, I thought I had gotten it, but I guess I didn't I thought he was saying he liked to MOON people. I honestly hadn't thought of your answer.

Now, Spade, did you get any of my post?

Haha yes it is indeed "panty dropper". Well i went to a festival type thing today and parked in a spot with a very high flow of foot traffic and when me and my friend got out of the car we stood off to the side cause i had to make a couple phone calls to rally eveyrone for a meeting spot.
while we were there it was funny to see people spot it then point it out to everyone else in there group haha.
Ive had it on for 2 days so far no police issue or anyhting but then again i dont drive the mini so much.

Mooning was my second answer

but yes sir, i did understand a few of them. They were good guesses and i visualized a few myself. but being a teen i thought of the "boy" thing.

Hahaha.. that's fantastic!


There was an M3 driving behind me with a Euro plate that had:

R3V0-3V0M


In the rear view mirror, it would read:

M0VE-OVER

Backwards '3' and Backwards 'R'... you get the picture...

I didn't have my camera on me.. else i would've taken a snap shot of it.

It depends on where you get them. I got mine for about $50-60 from ...

www.licenseplates.tv

Scroll down and use the link for "The PlateMeister." He was great to work with. I ordered mine on a Monday and had it on my car by Friday afternoon.

go through www.autoplates.com they have a real time java application that shows u what the plate looks like as u modify it and they has multiple colors like yellow/black/white. my s4 had a black plate with white letters. and they let u do any country u want even japan and jamacia. they let u type anyhting u want profanity allowed. and it costs
$29.95 for a fully custom euro plate however u want it and they have a pretty excellent adapter/holder for mounting the euro plate to your car for $15 i definitely recommend it.

just saw that if u buy the braket with the plate u get it for $10 instead of 15


Here is a exact link for all you lazy guys cause their homepage is semi-confusing.
