I order mine from http://www.myshowplates.co.uk/ . It took a couple of e-mails but they have a great product.

When you order your European plate, you will also need to order the frame. The plate has no holes for screws to mount the plate. The holes are in the back of the frame, then once the frame is in place, the plate goes into the frame. There are numerous variations and one of the mounting hole variations lines up with US plates.

If you don't want to drill holes (which I did not want to do) I used two nylon zip ties and fastened the bracket to the bumber through some slots in the lower grill. Worked like a charm and has stayed on there for over a year without a problem!
I ended up getting a bracket from the MINI of Munchen dealership in Germany when I was over there last year and brought it back.
The ones the eurpoeans seem to use are made by Wurth so you may want to do a search for them.
