to the forums! just match the holes from license plates and your europlates, and it should work just fine

If you don't want to drill holes, most members will recc 3M double sided tape...

the holder for my euro plate is screwed into the same holes as the CA state plate. +1 for double-sided tape if you dont want to drill holes. and welcome and enjoy the forums

Double sided tape will hold it just fine. Make sure you clean the surface first.

Pardon me, but whats the whole point of having Euro plates if they arent even useful? Is it just for decor?

Thanks for all the welcoming guys, way freindly than what I experienced in the fest, however I applied the screws where the CA plate goes and for some reason the edges of the bracket trigers the PDC sensors and I solved that issue in my previous car by punching holes in the corners but I can't do that in this car cuz its lease and as one of the members said go with no plates which Im currently doing but I want the euro plate so bad. I will try double sided taped

here is my car

UNIQUE? lol

Won't you get rolled by cops because your car doesnt have legit plates though?

And placing your registered plates over the Euro plates is NASTY.

You're also NOT in europe, so why pose?
