are these plastic licence plate holders available in US?

[shogun]

Do not know the exact English word for that. It is the plastic pice between the tail lights. I am looking for ones which fit to US size licence plates. Something like this for E32

Don't have them... but that looks cool....

There are 2 versions available.
One for the longer European style licence plates like this one, that was made by Hella in Germany

And then the version for the smaller licence plates like in the US, Japan and Switzerland.
But I cannot get a new one here anymore, only that used one is available in the auction house here.
I thought maybe in the US they are offering them also for the US size licence plates?

I tried getting my hands on one long ago, and didn't find it. Is there a part number associated with those ? I want one.

[shogun]

No number. I checked on some cars of our club, there is only mentioned
Air Press
Made in Germany

But so far I cannot allocate this company, even by involving people from Germany. Maybe they no longer exist.

I know they are called 'Heckblende' in German ...

On ebay.de (ebay for germany) I found one for e32 and one for e34, but they are both wide euro plate ...

[shogun]

Yeah, I know, the wide ones are still available from hella, but these should be found somewhere, I hope at least ;-)

Keep us posted.

I bought one of these a couple of years ago for my E30 from Bekkers I think. I still have it if anyone is interested.

I just saw one on a e34 today!

[shogun]

Didn't you stop him and ask where he bought it or where we can get them online? ;-)

[liquidtiger720]

Nope, he turned off too quick...I only saw him for a few seconds.

He also had the trunk lid with that integrated wing. I can't seem to find the picture. It was also red...and, i couldnt tell much else.


EDIT: oh. here we go, picture of that trunk spoiler i was talking about *BARF*
