why do you want to get a plate frame that doesn't fit your plates? It would look odd and tasteless.

Why would you deface your car with an unessessary plate in front?
Any car looks better without plates. Plates are an unfortunate addition required by law, not a fashion statement. If you are lucky enough to live in a state which doesn't require front plates, then consider yourself lucky and go without.
Just look..... No plate = hot.

You got me there, it does look hotter without a plate, but I think I will have holes in the middle im not sure I will check tom.
Oh. That sucks. If my dealer drilled holes in my bumper without asking, I'd kick him in the dick.
You could get them repaired, though? I just don't understand the whole front-plate decoration thing..... If you don't need it, why get it?

yes euro plates give a nice touch in the front of a european car in my opinion. as for the holes, thats what that plate holding frame in the package is for. like mine, i had a front plate on my bumper from the day we bought it at the dealer. it was so ugly in my opinion, and i know it would be nice just to have that clean look but those holes.. and plus i wanted a euro plate beforehand. i used those holes to mount the frame, except that i used a plug on one side in the frame so the screw would go in directly to the hole in the bumper. in addition, i didnt want to drill even more holes in my bumper but i wanted my plate to be against the bumper on that curve and not flat, so i double stick taped the ends.

Nice thanks for the info. They said it will take a few weeks so im patiently waiting.
I'm about to order from Bimmian.com myself. Have a couple of cool names picked out.
What do y'all think?

My car is space gray and I think the Black Background with white lettering is best. But White background with black lettering would be cool too.
Thoughts?
