United-States Euro Plates !!!

Hi,

I am wondering if anybody knows of a company that sales the long euro license plates in the U.S to equip to either the front or rear of the car. Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Many, many places do them.
I got mine from Mattman Enterprises:

BMP is a trusted name in BMW (now MINI) circles:

These look more like British plates:

I got mine from Bavarian Autosport. www.bavauto.com

Last time I looked, you can choose from three different styles, between classic, German EEC, and the Zoll Temporary style, if you want to pretend you took European delivery.

You can also choose your number & letter combination, or just let them randomize one for you.

Good luck,
DW

I would say go with the German style ones. I have not been on the roads in the UK (only to Gatwick), but the German plates look the coolest. I have the Italian plates, and the yellow plates don't always look right.

The plates in Monte Carlo look cool though because they are so small. Guess they do not need that many digits with a population that size!

I'd be lost if I had somewhere to be!

You could try out eutags.com; they appear to do pretty accurate ones (they'll even sell you stadt badges for your German plates to look right!).

Triple C offers the authentic acylic UK style plates. The front and back are sold as a pair. I only use the front one. If I had to do it over again, I'd request two fronts instead (in case I lose one).

I've got mine in http://www.fancyplates.com.
They have a wide ranges of border & color to suit your taste and they also offer the original design as well. Resonable price and good communication!
Cheers
