I am about to take delivery of my new Horizon Blue/Black MCS. I am planning on doing a Euro plate on the front as I did for El Kabong. Here is El Kabong before his untimely death.


My new MCS will be named GoKart Mozart (from the song Blinded by the Light), Mozart for short .

Here are the plates, I have limited characters. Any opinions?

Here's the first mockup:


And the second:


Thanks for any opinions!
Annette

 

I like the second one best! GOKRTMOZRT

 

Thanks! It occurred to me that I could order both and just switch out when I felt like it.
Annette

 

Hi Annette! I like the second one also.

May I ask, how do you mount your europlate? I don't see any brackets or anything. I'm thinking of getting a europlate, but I don't want to drill holes, and I don't really like the off-center mount option using the towhook. Do you use 3m tape that I have read about?

p.s. do you think a europlate would make the front look too busy/crowded with the 2 badges I have? I was afraid maybe it would.

 

I like both of them.

 

I like the second one best.

 

I like the first one, some other ideas:

GOZART

MOZKART

GOMOZART

GOMOZKART

 

Thanks all, I'll probably order at least 2. I like the Go Mozart one, too.
I use the 3m tape and it has held for years. I figure if it falls off, then I've only lost about $40 tops, but I don't have any holes in my bumper.
No, wpb mini, I don't think it will look too busy at all.

Annette

 

thanks, Annette

 

second one is best!!

 

Hey Annette, what website did you order those plates from? I've been thinking of ordering euro plates myself.

 

Here's one from another maker. I like this font a bit better, what do you think of the umlauts over the o?


This plate was from http://www.customeuropeanplates.com/

The first two were from

check out demonplates .com I just got one for my GP they done an excellent job

 

Flynscot1772, where are you located?
Also, did the demonplates come with the words demon plates on the plates like they show in the example? I'm not big on being forced to advertise without a choice.

If that's not there, then these are really nice plates.
Annette

 

LOVE this one!!

 

You can put whatever you want there, or leave it blank. I have Mini Cooper S JCW GP it looks great. You can really do a lot with these plates change the back ground border color and put the flags etc on the left side, and there is a special tab for the slogan. I really like mine. Spend some time on the site. They do also ship to the USA.

 

Here is another option, if you are like me, and have Irish roots.

These are the first Euro plates I have found that actually have the town/city/county across the top.

 

Maybe I should have read this thread first before I ordered my custom plates. This is a lot less expensive!

only in Ireland you will see the towns etc on the top

 

Flynscot1772, I just realized how you can change the line on the bottom. That is pretty cool when I think about it, you could put a nice little MINI slogan down there.
Are you in the US, just wondering about much it cost in dollars with shipping if you are.
Annette

 

I am in Salisbury NC it didnt cost too much for an excellent plate it was about 24 pounds approx 36 dollars. the palte is worth it especially as you can do a lot of personalized stuff with it.

 

Didn't know that, but I do now. It is however the only site that I found that does put the town across the top of the Irish Plates. I tend to be a bit picky when I go for stuff like this.

 

Hi Annette,
I like it better without the umlauts--I am not sure that I have ever seen umlauts in Mozart's name. I assume you would select the umlauts just for the fun of it, but I became curious and starting researching umlauts and Mozart . . .
