    Default Would you consider this rice?

    So ive got a hook up on a Euro Plate from a UK Cougar owner...

    Do I have Euro parts? Yes.
    Do I have Euro Badging? Yes, especially if I get my shit back from DJXtrax.

    I guess I can justify a small euro plate?

    Not that other peoples opinion really matters to me, because it is my car, but sometimes it opens up other viewpoints.

    Eh, it's just my opinion, nothin' personal, but I hate the whole foreign plate thing... unless your car was imported from the country, why put a plate on it from that country? it's not like it looks cool or anything IMO.

    Thats understandable. Even if it was imported from the UK, you wouldnt notice any real difference except for climate controls. Only Aussie Cougars were RHD.

    I make frequent trips to the southside. Trust me I know! I saw a Monte Carlo ( a newer one) with a huge wing on the back end yesterday.

    Just going by the car and nothing personal at all but euro tag on a mercury??Even if it was imported at some point in time its still looked at as an american product.But I def believe in "its your car so do what you want" mentality.

    I say not cool, but to each their own...

    The only exception IMO would be if you actually had the car there and then brought it here after... then you could keep the foreign tag on and it would be less ricey
