Wow, Basil, that was fast....thanks! Actually, I'm looking for the whole package...an authentic reproduction plate as you have pictured and of course, the mounting bracket. I bought a reproduction plate 15 years ago for the Porsche and it was a real attention getter. Man, that photo you posted looks fab! Thank you!

Well, depending on how quickly you want it (My S is scheduled for August 02 delivery), and it looks like the Oz Cooper S will get the european mounting plate (which is MILES too big for our plates). If it can be removed without too much drama, your welcome to mine. Most ozzies here have approached their dealers about deleting it, so we may or may not get it. And if we do, there will be a few available i'm sure.


Cheers

Here is a store in Florida that makes Euro plates.
Drivers Seat
It is towards the bottom of the page.
I plan on getting one also.

EBAY has about 70 different auctions on those. One guy from Germnay has authentic ones ... real ones!
