NUMBER PLATES.

Are they attached to the Mini with sticky pads?
There don't seem to be any screws!

Where can I get some decent number plates made up with the ENGLAND flag on for a good price?!

Mine are attached with sticky pads - and IMHO look better for it. No chance of the screws making the rear bodywork rust either. Don't know where you will find someone to do some with a George Cross on though!

Hi,

See www.fancyplates.com, they have a constructor program
so you can see what the plates will look at

Cheers

Mine were screwed on at the back and stuck on the front till it fell off so I made them screw it on.

Your dealer can do you flag number plates, just ask him.... should have specified it with your order. Halfords do it too now... caost abput £25 a pair...

Do the MINIs sold in the UK have a front plate holder or are the plates attached directly to the bumper? In my case, I have a frame attached to the front (sized for a California plate) but I was considering getting a UK style plate for the front which matches my custom registration. I visited Fancyplates...cool stuff. Does anyone know if they ship to the states? Thanks!
