So who has Euro plates?

I am thinking of getting a Euro plate for my front bumper but a few questions:

Do the people that own them actually drive with them on?

if yes... have any of you been pulled over for it?

I want to get them but don't want the police to pull me over and then also comment on the nice tint I have on my car.

Thanks!

Where can you get them? I have a set of German plates from the last EU delivery but I'm looking for other countries.

I have a Carlsson euro plate and I used 3M double sided tape to keep the plate on the front bumper. I drive w/ it on the car everyday, I live in SoCal but if you drive normally the cops usually won't pull you over for that.

It really various by states and of course the officers mood and if you are driving stupid enough ot get pulled over. I have sold over 3000 plates and I have had only a few people email me back and say they where pulled over.

Hey Christoph,

I guess you did buy them afterall cause i saw you driving in santa monica the other day... approx. the corner of Santa Monica & 2nd street around 1:30pm...

You were waiting for us to cross the street while you were making the turn... nice car... nice shift **** too...

I drive with mine on all the time- I live in Atlanta and we are not required to have any plates in front of our cars-- I have them on My CLK and C CLass- The cost less than 30 dollars-- I use a 3m to keep mine attached to my front bumper- It gives the car a more eropean look- --- Most of my friends with German cars have them on their car-- Now putting them on the rear bumper is a different story-- I have actually heard of people that will have one custom made based on the tag number assigned to them by their state-- I know that is illegal for sure --

See link for pics of CLK with Euro plates on the front the Bimmer also has one but u cannot see it from this angle

I like in NJ, and the front plate is mandatory. I still have the europlate, which i got from www.bavauto.com I havent had any trouble with the cops, i simply placed my New Jersey plate in the right hand corner of my windshield, with the europlate in the front. I dont think cops will pull you over soley for having a europlate, but if you're caught speeding, they will add on to it for having the europlate... that is if the state mandates that you have a plate in the front.
