there are plenty of websites in Germany or else where were you can order the plastic mounting plates (euro plates are longer...if anyone reading this did not know) that can be attached to your front...and then you simply mount the US plate on top of that. The trick is to find one in english... or if you speak another language.

I myself have not done this... nor do I even have a front plate. I was told at the dealership because I drive a "M" I can do what ever I want.

But only after stuff the tin pie plate "Clean Wheels" inside the rims. Classic, mid-80's GM look.

Instead of mounting the US plate on top, why don't you get those tow hook plate bracket? You can put both plates on without overlapping each other.
