Best place to buy Euro license plates?

[Preppy]

Curious where I should be looking :)

Ebay is your best bet. Though it may take a while for it to come. Ive seen them go for $5 + shipping

[Preppy]

Yeah, I was hoping to get custom one done, but oh well, maybe $5 isn't so bad :)

Thanks.

www.bavauto.com did mine - they're reliable and such, and yes, they do custom.

Just make sure it's EXACTLY how you want it displayed (I thought mine would be "auto-formatted" to "3 - FJ E864", but I typed it in like "3FJE864" and that's how it came :D)

i got mine from here:
http://www.customlicenseplates.com/europeanplatespage.html

$29.95 including shipping. takes about two weeks for delivery.

i suggest using the mail order form as the electronic form doesn't seem too secure.

4 of my other friends have also ordered from here.

ahhh never knew the bavauto one came with the mounting frame. if you want the mounting frame, then $35 is a better deal. but after shipping, it's probably at the $40 range which makes the deal no better.

also, because of the shape of my front bumper, i found the mounting frame to be ugly and useless as it did not form to the shape of the bumper and looked like a big bulge.

i wound up just drilling to holes into the plate and mounting it with the stock screws. worked better for me.

there's also a proper way to do it. has screws on four corners. looks really clean. i don't know the procedure though.

btw... i currently do not have the plate on my car. it's sitting in my garage.

I too was thinking about getting a euro plate, but was a little concerned that the day I put it on I get pulled over. I was thinking about maybe making it the same as my rear plate (which is random) that way it will be a little bit more legal? Anyone ever get a fix-it ticket for there euro plate?

How about this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2172683079&category=421 cant beat $4 instead of ~30

ok well $15 shipped but still its a good deal

i had my on for few years and i made the numbers the same as my original plate. never got pulled over for it. i'm now just running no front plate.

do you think cops are more prone to pull over someone with no front plate or a euro plate? im running no front plate and have been for a few years and havent got pulled over (knock on wood)

[segal3]

I think with our older cars they don't mind as much...vs a new car that they KNOW would have a regular plate

OT say if i wanted to put a plate in front how would I ? i ahve this plastic piece in the center saying 'BMW' would i have to drill holes on that?
