United-States European License Plate Frame

I'm in California and would like to get a European License Plate holder mounted to the front of my Mini, as opposed to the USA version. Does anyone know how to get the frame installed? I spoke to someone at a dealership who said they could get it if they had the part number. Does anyone know the part number or have advice on how to get the frame and not just the plate? Thanks. -Geoff

Welcome to MINI2

In the future, to help us better answer your questions, please specify the model MINI you have or complete your MINI Profile [click the link in my signature line], so we can easily find out.

If you have an 'S', you'll want to read this thread:

If you have a Cooper, you'll want to read this thread:

I'm not sure whether the Euro Plate Holder that fits the 'S' also works on the Cooper. Regardless, there is the cheaper Euro Universal Mounting Bracket alternative:



Before going this route you should be aware that this type of plate is illegal in CA

I originally purchased the Euro Plate Holder for my 'S' but ended up returning it to the dealer because I liked the "no license plate look" better ... which is also illegal here in CA
