body and interior How To Attach A Us License Plate To A Euro Plate Mount?

[ClayW]

I just got a European License plate holder/mount for my 1600, but I'm not sure how the plate mounts to it.

 

Does anyone have pictures of how they mounted theirs, if you have one?

I see screws/bolts in the top two holes in the plate. Perhaps corresponding holes were made in the mount.

Here's something not so helpful ;-)

The US plates don't fit unless (like the Cabrio pic) you drill additional fixing holes to suit the US plate. If you use the Euro plate holes, the US plate sits on the bumper.

I guess you could drill additional holes in the US plate.

I don't have a pic, but I have seen US plates mounted to a Euro License Plate that was mounted to the Euro Brackets.  You also see this with other Euro delivered car makes...kind of cluttered look IMO

I mounted the plate to a standard rear holder and then mounted the rear holder to the euro bracket.  Looks a little cluttered, but not real modifications required.  I will probably cut off the tabs for the license plate lights to clean it up.

I would just drill some holes

Mine looks like the cab in your pic.  The POs must've put holes in the holder.
