Look what "Brown" brought for me...

Just came in from the guys over at OEMPL.US! I can't wait to fit it to my new Avant!

I also picked up a set of KW V1 coils today that should make their way onto my car within the next few weeks!

Why the hell do you want to put that on your car?

What.. the Euro plate tub? Because I think it looks better than the NA ones and it's a nice subtle mod. I am not putting the Europlate on there.. that was just to show that it accepts one (like in Europe).

Oh gotcha... I thought you were putting the eurotrash plate on there

I love mine...gl with the install :)

lucky....if i want to get a Euro Tub, i need to replace the entire Hatch.

I always think the euro plate tub looks out of place with an american plate on there...too bad we dont have euro shaped plates.

It can look ok.. depends on the plate IMO. I also like the fact that it sets my car apart from every other "Soccer Mom" car out there.

Well.. I finally got around to installing it and man was it a pain to get that rear hatch panel off!!! I tried using my Bentley manual and it failed to include the info about the rear window shade that you need to remove to get the whole thing off.

Anyways.. on to some pics.







And here's one with my NC plate.. I have a personalized plate on the way so this will have to do for now.

what's wrong with that? it's ok to have a bit of a sense of humor about things. i would definitely rock a plate like that for photoshoots

I want to say around $180 something.. not positive. I got it from OEMPL.us .. check out their site and it has the prices listed.

It didn't really help much.. it said nothing about needing to remove the sliding window shade thing first.. there are 4 screws behind it that hold the panel on.. I spent like 30mins trying to get that crap out before finally figuring it out.

Oh well, all in all I think it was worth it.
