Hi, I have an European front license plate that I would like to mount. I can mount it on the existing bracket but it looks horrible because the license plate is much longer then the existing braket it self. Would it be possible to remove the existing braket and install an European braket style instead? Did anyone try this? do you have a pic?  This pic is from the banner from CEG, this is how I want it to look  Thank you

u should be able to. i had three holes when i removed my front license plate. i'm ordering bumper plugs for them. if your euro plate isn't tall enough it may not cover the top 3rd hole (assuming you have the 3 like me). otherwise you'll have to drill new holes. the 3 holes are like a triange, one on top and 2 on the bottom
...and yes, I did SEARCH first before asking.

I have one on my car,just go to Advanced Auto or Pep girls and get a cheap $3 licence bracket,they are plastic.but work great.I had the same prob you did and it worked out fine no need to even drill new holes just use the old holes.Its a universal type thingy.

after you take your license plate off there are three screws under there.just remove them.

those three little plugs will likely break off. use a screwdriver to get under them and the heads will pop off.

Thanks alot guys. I removed it, and the three little plastic plugs did break, oh well. I got an European braket mount from performance center of america for $11. I then went to Homedepot and bought 3screws that would fit right into the existing wholes (1 size larger then the existing screws), and it worked out great. I'll have to post a picture. Thank alot again
