I've been searching for custom euro plates and it seems like they are all about $45.00 with frame and bracket. Does anyone have suggestions on where to get a good quality plate with all the hardware?

Thanks.

Im a little confused... Is the plate holder the same piece that I will need to mount it to the existing holes for US plates? OR do I need a frame AND a mounting piece?

Thanks GENEaTALS.

It looks like you will need a frame to mount the euro plate...

wish i could be of more assistance but I do not have personal experience with euro plates...I am sure other members will chime in eventually..

found this site via google, their price for the frame/mount is much cheaper than bimmian.com

We carry the custom euro plates with the plate frame/holder but you will need the bracket from your local dealer to install on the front or rear bumper.

^If the only option is an OEM bracket to hold the plate, mind as well order it from Gary...
