It is nice but technically illegal in Florida because it covers some of the lettering on the plate.

I like it but it looks like you mounted it with deck screws. A trip to your local hardware store is in order.

This is what I used. Not as cool but one less reason to get pulled over.

Might need a smaller font, but (and sorry to be pedantic) - it should really be

Browns Lane - Coventry - CV5 9DR - England.

Stainless Steel or Nylon fasteners only, with matching washer. In Florida, Ace Hardware has decent fasteners.

Regular screws will rust and discolor the license plate or worse the paint under it.

Sorry but I have to agree with my fellow Devonian - Browns Lane is in Coventry and so that is where the car came from. There is probably a Browns Lane in most English towns. Only just saying though cause its your call
