Hi-

Does anybody know the best way to attach a front end European license plate to a Mini configured to US standards?


Thanks-

Tony

 

With or without drilling holes?

 

Superglue? Duct tape? I know...a staple gun!

 

JB Weld! Available at your local hardware store.

 

The plate holder comes off and your left with a long narrow area
to put your Euro plate. I did a Google search on Euro plates
and you can buy them with universal holders that will screw into
your existing screw holes.

use 3m double sided tape you can get it at the home depot.

first place small pieces on the plate.

second cut a long line the size of the plate and stick that one on the car, match the sticky sides and bend the plate slightly to the bend of the front bumper.

Do not just apply the tape on plate and attach, it will work but if it rains or gets wet you will drop you plate trust me. the tape is removable and will hold it in place even at high speeds.

 

That is COOPER only. With the COOPER S you're going to have to get more creative.

I did the exact same thing. It gives it a really clean look with out the plate holder. I was too lazy and cheap to buy the holder so I used tape

 

I didn't us the plate holder either on my MC. Didn't use 3M tape either. I drilled two holes on the white parts of the plate (not the blue part on the left side). Then I drilled into the actual bumper. Then I screwed the plate to the bumper. Then I got two white dimple-like plastic things (?) to cover up the screws. It's nice b/c since the plate is white and the screw cover ups are white there's no visible punture. That baby will never come off .

 

I got mine online at
german stuff 4 you

The one I got is from a BMW/Mini Dealer in Berlin... Pretty cool, I think.

 

I got mine at schoolhouse grapics. It's very nice. Here...http://www.shgraphics.com/

Here's a link to buy personalized german plates along with how the plate frame attaches to the front end.

In Hawaii, rice seem to stick very well on almost anything

 

^^^Let me guess, you got the extra sticky rice they use in the sushi bars!!!

Hey is that noodle place still open in the food court at Ala Moana Mall?

Sushi bar?! Nah, you can get sticky rice from 7-11

Yes, but we "locals" don't limit our noodle selections to just Ala Moana....there's plenty more around the island

 

I didn't know any better at the time, besides it was within walking distance of the Hilton Hawaiian Village
