I've already got my dragon plate. . .

But those are pretty cool too!

 

I neglected to mention that the Dragon plates posted below are:

• Commemorative. Not legal for anything at all.
• Meant to be worn OVER or IN PLACE OF your legally required tag on the FRONT BUMPER
• Removable, and re-usable next year
• Easy to post in your office cube as a conversation starter. Bugs and all.

Try one of ours. You will be the first in your area. Then, just wear it for the event - to and from - and you will have the best of both.

Thanks for the pic....

Now i want one of these....... I'll be watching your website for the online option

 

I want Yucca's plate. I think I'll get one of those at MOTD this year.
Hmmm. Looks like torx screws?

But if I can't make that happen, I'll order one of jsouz's.

 

Will the Dragon Placard be similar to the one sold last year??? Do you have a pic for it yet?? Thanks!

 

Jonathan - The check is in the mail. This will look great on the Dragon Wagon!

 

The Dragon Placards will be similar to last years, with the colors reversed (last year was white printing on a red background, this year they will be red printing on a white background, with a red border) and of course updated to 2007. We will have them up on our web site with pictures by the end of the week. We are excited to be able to also offer The Dragon License Plate. There will be special pricing for combo packs of both items, or we can supply them separately. We will post when our web site has be updated.

 

will be available in the www.AmericanMiniMates.com site in the very near future. I cannot say about the design, but Doug can.

Doug?

Thanks,

JPS

The LPB is made entirely from stainless steel, with nylock nuts that will not loosen with vibrations. And, the LPB allows you to adjust the mounting height from low to high in 6 separate positions. See the photos in the www.GoMINIGo.com site.

There you have it. Two good offers in one. Send your order in now, and give yourself time to order your LPB long before the Dragon.

See you all soon!

SWEET!!!!! Jonathan, the check is in the mail....

 

to the Dragon, have the others post here. I can get the group a discount on the plates, and save you postage.

Thanks,

Jonathan

 

Jonathan, I'll talk to MKO to see if we'll do a group buy! Great plate...thanks!

 

Yes, a group buy is best. And now you all can get a nice little discount on the GoMINIGo LPB No Holes License Plate Bracket (shameless plug) as well.

Just send it in. You will love the plates.

Sweet product at a great price... I was just telling the wife how impressed I am at the cost of these items (the patch as well). Honestly, based on my experiences with other groups of this type, I almost expected JUST THE PLATE to cost $20.. plus $8 shipping or something like that... The "combo pack" offered above was only $19 plus $6 shipping for the plate AND the bonnet placard.

Thanks for "keeping it real"! Combo pack ordered!

 

I just cannot see taking advantage of my friends and the MINI community. It does not make sense and only bad feelings would result. We are happy to provide a fun product at low cost for you folks. We will cover our costs and then a little without gouging anyone.

Happy to do so.

Maryland requires front plates, and I have too many speeding tickets to risk any more infractions.
Would the tow hook mount still fit on the front with a state plate already in place?

 

GREAT GUY THAT JONATHAN!!!!
We sure have some nice folks here in Colorful Colorado!!!
Look forward to seeing everybody in Aug for MINI's in the Mountains!

 

Yes, the tow hook mount would allow for the mounting of the DRAGON Plate if you already have the state plate mounted. It would sit just to passenger side of the front plate and not interfere with view of the state plate.

 

However, when I leave the state line, that changes. KS and other places cannot enforce the tag requirement nor would they necessarily know. Feel free to drive your own in MD but commemorate the DRAGON elsewhere.

Good thing Maryland is a small state....

JPS

 

Here is what it would look like with a dual mount.

 

thanks for the info..it helped me to decide to go ahead and get the plate
