I've seen many people with these plates and was just wondering if anyone could give me a contact or name and phone number of a company. I am a MINI Sales Person and have lots of customers asking me about them. Also, I think it would be a really cool thing to offer to people placing their orders. Please Help.

Gee, there are many places that custom make these "Euro Fashion" plates for you. Basically these companies print European Union plates (fakes of course) for almost any country.

I would suggest to do a http://www.google.com research and type in key words "Euro Fashion plates" and see what it comes up with.

Here in Miami several MINI owners have the European plates installed in the front, but they also have the genuine MINI Euro tag adaptor bracket for the front (Our MINI's come with the Standard size plate adaptor bracket).

Of course, this applies mostly to states that don't require front license plates, such as Florida.

That MCS looks like a left Hand Drive European version (It has no side marker lights in the wheel arches).

Is this car yours?

They are located in Aberdeen, Maryland and specialize in VW parts and tuning, but they do euro tags - personalized and non (it's where I got mine). Real nice guys there.

I got my from http://www.pl8s.co.uk also. They mail the plate out 24 hours from when you order it. I think it was around $25 for the plate and shipping included. :smile:
