well, i'm gonna attempt to do a full euro front conversion. i wanna know something though. while looking for that euro front plate holder, i noticed that the american spec one and the euro one is similar. so my question is, is it the same thing, but with holes in different places? or is it a whole different thing? and if you guys have it, the part number for the euro spec one? thanks.

no one? i'd say this thread is more directed to the socal members since i see them with the europlates more.

P/n for Euro license plate holder = 51-11-8-148-821
They're exactly the same as US spec as far as how they mount to the bumper.

I had mine bolted to the US-plate holder ... didn't sit perfectly flush (sides stuck out a little bit), but it was alright; this was before I knew that you could actually acquire the proper euro holder in the states ...

Both different sorts of Euro Plate Holders should be the same. From memory about 52cm wide and 11cm tall.
They should all have about 30 or so holes in the back of them to accommodate almost any vehicle.

PERFECT. I'm goin' with that. Now I just need a holder for the front. (And an M5 filler-see sig, hint ;)). I have a US 535 and don't really know how the holder goes on....I guess I'll PM *that* guy ^^^
