Hey where can I get the euro license plates that you can put in the front of the car?

Any websites? Stores? Etc?

Licence plate is different in every EU country. There are some general guidelines you have to follow (like the blue EU flag on the left), but that's about it.

Dutch plate:

I never understood why the european plates have to be so large!
Not only that, why the yellow. If your car is not a neutral color that plate
is going to take away the sex appeal.

I think only the Dutsch and Finnish plates are yellow coloured. And i still don't understand why the US plates have to be so small.
I remember i saw here a pic comparison between the euro and the US m5 boot lid. (??)

The M5 has a big butt anyway so an American or Euro plate doesn`t take too much away from the style. Here is an example of the size of an American plated M5. I don`t think it would look to good with large yellow plates.

I like my smaller American plates, cause I like to see more butt area.
The plates here where I live are white. Thay match any colored vehicle.
