I've owned cars for 35 or so years and never owned a car with a vanity plate.
I decided to get one...
Here are the choices I have available as......there are a ton of people who have mini vanity plates here in NY

D MINI

DSM MINI

02 MINI

DENSMINI

DMINIERO

IMA MINI

MINIDUDE

MY 02MCS


I'm asking for opinions...please let me know what you think :smile:

Peace,
D

I like the D MINI

and 2nd choice is MINIDUDE !

Hey, Can you get 8 letters in your state? if so you're a lucky dog! I can only get 6 letters in Texas. However, Here in Texas if you put a * on the request, they print for the * a little bitty state of texas on the plate to seperate words. I got GO*MINI.

I really wanted BE MINI or B MINI (the opposite of Be Large, ha,ha)
but they were already taken! I was a bit down but after I got the GO MINI plates I was so pleased I'm now totally happy with it.

Hank, I bet it's the most asked for plate !!! I asked the lady at the Texas DOT and she said MINI ME was taken several years ago after Mini Me first appeared in the Austin Powers movie. I secretly hope the owner is a small person, like the actor who plays him!

Definately D MINI of your choices.

Other suggestions DMINI4U or DMINI8U and if you are a Speed Racer fan instead of ...RACER X, how bout RACER D?


How 'bout I8URSUV? (I ate your SUV)


His, Chile RED all over, Madness intake, Randy's Airbox Mod, Magnaflow Exhaust, BMP spark plug wires, RDR rear sway bar and Helix P/D 15% reduction pulley.
Hers, EB UJ on top and BONE stock.

I concur! That's exactly how I would rank my 1st and second choice.


BTW, I didn't have a vanity plate until I got my MINI. It says HPYMTRN, not many get it whaty it says though...

I like D MINI out of all of them also. DSM MINI sounds like it's powered by a mitsubishi or something

I thought you can only have 7 spaces on the plate obviously.

How would you put DENSMINI? or MINIDUDE?

Am I not knowing something here?

Hey Kohu'ulaMINI

Question about your pedals and the foot rest. May I ask what kind of brand, how much and where to get them???

They are the now standard pedals on the MCS which I got from Classic Auto Campus, an MCO sponsor.

Great price and very easy to install. Much better pedals IMO....wet shoes no longer slip off the pedals
