Default Euro/GB Front Plate

I live in PA so no front plate required, but my car already had holes in the bumper cover and needed to put something on. Decided to try a custom Euro plate and I like how it came out. Not sure if I'll leave it on the car or just hang it in the garage for decoration, but wanted to share.

Nice, ...looks good, but is that a custom tag or was it registered? FYI...its against the law to drive around with a previously registered plate on a car in the US....just saying.

If its custom, I like the choice...perhaps you could pick up another one or two at the Carlisle auto show?

One last thing....have you shared other pics of her with us here....https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...ictures-52060/

I think its a custom mix up. The numberplate and font looks like a German one with a custom tag. The GB is wrong as UK number plates are different in thinkness, format and font additionally the UK is no longer a member of the European Union.

It's a custom plate from https://www.customeuropeanplates.com/ not an actual registered plate.

Bforsik - Thanks for pointing that out, as soon as you mentioned it I realized the font was wrong (I knew it looked a little off). The place I got it from did not have another option for font so I guess lal they do is German no matter which plate it's on. I also realize the GB plate is incorrect but wasn't too concerned about that, but now the font is bothering me. Oh well, I'll leave it for a bit until I find a better option for a front plate to hide the holes in the front bumper.

I have some decent photos from the other day I can post in the X308 thread, I'll do that later!
