Front Plate Mount

Hey All! Just picked up my F56 on Saturday! So excited to be joining the club again, really looking forward to the drives.
My question is, which front plate mount is better? Craven Speed or Go Mini Go? Pros? Cons? Do either of them allow for plate frames?
Thanks!

Shhhh
Keep this under your hat.......
Put the front plate in the boot, let is simmer there for as long as you don't get stopped!
Neither of our very pretty(much like your) MINI's have it mounted.
Most of the polite law enforcement folks won't stop for the front plate just like the corvettes don't get stopped.
They normally write you after they stop you for another violation, and then either say to fix the plate or add it into the ticket.
Seems a shame to actually drill a brand new pretty/clean/shiny front bumper!

I like being able to tuck it out of the way on demand:

...or if you really want to amaze your friends, here's what you want (albeit a bit pricey):



I've had both, but settled on the manual version for durability reasons.

I have not heard of many people getting pulled over for front plates either, HOWEVER, we talk to people all the time who get them while parked. Yes, most states it is a fix-it ticket, but why not fix it before you have to drag yourself down to court to prove yourself legal.

We are here to support our product, I think that alone is a great reason to choose the CravenSpeed Platypus.
