How do you guys mount the euro plate underneath the US plates? do you have to drill through it? I have the euro bracket but can't figure out how without destroying the new euro plate.

Thanks.

I agree if your state requires a front plate then DON'T do it. Its super ugly...

I picked up the car in Europe and wanted to reinstall car's first set of plates. What's wrong with that?

Its your car, do whatever you want. But to anawer your question, nobody here has done what you are talking about. Since I still have my original Euro plates I can tell you that you will have to drill through both the plate and the bumper to make it work.

I've seen it done, and quite frankly it looks absolutely ridiculous.

Don't spoil your car with a tasteless mod.
