Euro to US front licence plate adapter

Hi guys

Just took delivery of my 1980 Euro SC. I had to drive home without the front plate on though, the holes for the front licence plate are Euro width and obviously don't line up with my Ontario plate. Is there an adapter to mount a US/Canadian plate on the front of the car?

Thanks!
Dan

Check out the UK ebay and search using the words : number plate surround. Lots lots of options.

The UK plate surrounds seem to have a multitude of combinations for various plate sizes.

Nice looking car and good luck with the search.

You could also likely just get a piece of bar stock the appropriate length, spray it with some satin black or a rattle can of guards red and screw it in to the existing hole. Then mount your plate and if desired, a frame to it. That would likely look just fine and work well without being cheesy, too.
