But before I go running out to buy one, I have a few questions for all of you. Please use a number 2 pencil, and print all your answers. For multiple choice, fill in all circles completely.

1: I have a 1984 300D Euro, and obviously the "blue" border plates weren't around back then. However, I'm not entirely sure if I want to go with the old-fashioned black and white plates.. or the new ones. Both of them look nice, and the black & white ones are more "authentic" of the time-period of my vehicle. In your opinion, which looks better on a W123?

2: I live in New Jersey. This means that cops generally will pull anybody over just for looking at them the wrong way, let alone driving without a valid NJ front-plate (need two tags per car). I thought about mounting a euro plate with my NJ tag numbers on it in the front, but aside from looking tacky as hell.. the cops probably would still be all over it. Obviously, this means I need to mount BOTH plates on the car. The euro would go front and center, since my car still has the original bracket on it. Where is a good location for the NJ plate (aside from tied onto the grille, which looks equally as tacky). How do I secure it?

3: Does anybody have any more advice, when it comes to these plates? If you have both original NJ tags (along with the Euro one), does the DMV still give you grief? I don't want these things to become more trouble than they're worth.. so if you have any advice as to why this is a bad idea / good idea.. please share! Anybody have a good, reputable site to buy from?

Thanks, guys!
