Such a shame we're not allowed the small front plates here in NL. I'd love one for the Inno, and the Fulvia Zagato...

Also in Belgium it is not allowed. The original front plate I have always in the car. When they ask I can change it directly. But after the years they don't say anything. Just for MOT I change it ;)

Thank !!

today I have look to the front of the mini, I want to put Quick lift brackets (white works parts)
Like you see I have number plate parts.
For the good distance I must put this off, and hope the paint is ok.
But then is the question, where I put my numberplate. Small sticker on the bumper ? Or other option.

This is just a idea these brackets, because I have it in my garage.

Hi lovely car! Can you tell me where you got those spot lamp brackets that bolt to the bumper? I have been looking for something to mount some Cibies to and they look like a good option.
Cheers, Maddog

I am a frequent traveler to Belgium/Brugges on my way to Dusseldorf and wonder what the first letter of the Belgian number plates mean. I see 0 on yours, plenty with 1 and now, more 2. Reason?

O = oldtimer

1 or 2 is just the startnummer for normal cars, they start first with 1-AAA-OO1 and now are al the combination away they start with 2-...-...
Also it is possible to make you own numberplate, you can take a name, or something what you want. But that is for a price of 1000€
