Why not have your own custom plate made? Check out the "MINI" borders and side graphics. Like a particular footy team/rock band? Have the crest/logo added to the side or border. I don't have any affiliaton with the company, but I was very impressed with their product quality and service. CDN$ 70 shipped to my door within 5 days including mounting hardware and a Euro frame that eliminates the need for the fugly front plate mount.

Be sure to selct the "Showplates" option or else you're limited to plates that are street legal in the UK, i.e. E.U. flag graphic only and restricted spacing and lettering.

Hey HAWG, maybe you will know this then. I bought the bmw part for a euro tag mount from the dealer. It came in but it doesnt seem to have any way to mount the tag to it. The dealer says it is the only part shown in the book for a euro tag mount. How does a real tag mount, with screws or is there a frame that holds it.

I purchased my plate from http://www.minicooperplates.com/index.htm
How appropriate, don't you think I just got new plates so I won't be using mine anymore... plus it's illegal in IL

My Euro Plate frame pops open and then the plate goes inside it. On the center of each side it pries open, then work across the top and bottom. Insert plate and close the tabs. (The frame is to be mounted on the vehicle using one of the combinations of screw holes before inserting the plate.)
Both were very inexpensive.
This is now...
Check out frame here....

Re: One or two plates on your MINI
"This is a very good question. The simple answer is "If your state DMV gives you two, you are required to use them both. If they only issue one plate, it goes on the back." With the use of photo radar, etc., it is even more important to use both plates. That is why the police are a little picky on that item."
Oh well...
