What I like about the German (most Euro) plates is that they are much wider and not as tall as the US plates.? I don't like tall plates.?

The Euro plate gives a visual illusion of the car being wider, and therefore... looks more sporty.
That's why I got the Euro plate M5 trunklid finisher for my car, instead of getting a USA version. The USA style looks retarded, because its so narrow.

[/quote]Very Nice .......I see that you used the Euro plate holder that came with the M-Kit. Since my German plate is the "export" or custom plate it is a couple of inches narrower than the standard plate, so it looked bad when I put it on the Euro plate holder (it did not fill the whole width and you could see at least four screw holes on the corners of the plate holder). So I just ended up not using the Euro plate holder.
