I love the EU for one thing: the look of its license plates. Deutschland gets a hug for making our cars, but that's about as world-citizen as I get. After that, I'm proud to be American as warm apple pie (I might be getting another reference mixed in there)
So, sporting some other nation's character and the EU star cluster was out. Nor was I about to drill holes in my front bumper since, my state not requiring a front plate, my 1er escaped import unscathed. The look of the offset, "no holes" option never impressed me much, so the work was cut out for this stupid, stubborn American.
After a few hours and a little "<insert minority> engineering", this was the result:
Right now, the plate is just a sticker, stuck on a piece of plastic ... I'd like to get a metal version made, but haven't found a company that will actually silk-screen the USA and stars. Any suggestions?
