1SXE-MINI & SXEMINI-2

Here are my plates although we traded our black 02 MC in for a Pure Silver R56 MCS so the plate (SXEMINI-2) resides on our new ride.

Ours are on order!

I am so excited about these... came across an earlier thread and headed on over to europlates.com ...Picked one up for my husband.... and one for me. Looks as though in 4 weeks, I will share our latest additions! In the meantime, I will live vicariously through all of you!

Mine arrived today, with no mounting instructions. Can someone email or post or tell me how to mount this thing so I don't screw it up. Thanks!

I was also thinking about drilling holes in the bottom of the euro plate that matches the holes in US plates, and screwing/zip tieing the Euro to the US.

I installed it w/o the instructions. I used the holes where the US plate attached to and then drilled a couple others myself and used their bolt kit. It's not going anywhere.

So long as you properly display your CA plate I don't see why not? (Although they aren't CARB cert, and probably are known carcinagens lol :P )

judging from the pictures, seems like the stickers aren't needed for the front plates?

I can speak for California Law, stickers are not on the front plates.. only on the back (month and year)

Wahoo!

My new plates are in the mail from europlates.com I will post pictures just as soon as she is ready to go. I chose one with my MINI name 'Firedncer' and the other is a duplicate of my CA plate.. LUV4RFH. For my husband (blumini), a plate to match his MINI name..'blumini'. Not sure if he will use his outside of NAM events

So excited! Thanks for the website

Just realized that I never posted a pic pf my new plate. Although I know it's not "authentic", I really like the Union
jack that Europeanplates used...
