Frame for dual US & European plates

Does anyone have a source for a plate frame/bracket to mount a european plate and US plate on rear of MINI?

That would look like crap. Unhelpful opinion aside, you could do like the other hipsters do and mount the US one over the Euro one, just so others know you are super serious. That was also unhelpful, but its what most do.

Or go US in the normal plate spot (to keep it lit), and maybe Euro on a tow hook mount. if you have a Mini model with one on a good bumper spot.

You're absolutely right iwashmycar, that was unhelpful. . The bracket/frame I'm looking for (and have seen somewhere, just can't find where) the European plate mounts UNDER the US plate...the US plate actually covering a portion of the Eurplate.

That's exactly what I'm trying to do, but will need a bracket that will hold both plates in order to do it.

The US bolts will literally hold the Euro plate in place. You could add some 3M adhesive strips under the Euro if you are concerned any further about movement.
