Porsche 911 owners often buy paint color matched small round plugs to hide front license plate holes. There is a company by the name of "bumper plugs."

I bought some for my Rover to hide drilled holes. I believe they can match most manufacturer paint colors.

As for the MINI ME plate, I think that's funny! I would think that would be taken already.

Not sure on the forum restrictions about non-forum sponsors. I have no affliation to the product, and you could likely make your own cheaper - assuming your paint is easy to match, and you have the paint or can easily obtain and apply.

But they worked well for me.

Do a google search with "bumper plugs" and it should come right up.

Mine's somewhat lacking in creativity. However, I've never seen another so I've got that going for me.

I think it's a good plate, since it's not inherently obvious to those that don't know Minis. But instantly obvious to those that do.

* Which is probably why he had to be sneakier at creating the plate!

you really need it explained?

K9 = Dog

Styl = Style

Dog = Doggy

Doggy Style = a sex position.

We're not disputing THAT! Who's next? I love the creativity. Vanity plates make long road trips a little more interesting. And gives one hope that there ARE people out there smarter than a 5th grader....
