Screwless plate holder?

Not sure if thats the 'official' name for it but...

since my Mini has been in the body shop for the last 6 weeks getting a new bumper, I decided not to have them re-mount the plate holder and wanted to go with that plate holder that mounts to the tow hook I believe.

Can someone point me in the right direction as to where to get that item and the cheapest price? I can't remember where i saw it!

Thanks

GoMINIGo offers a very nice kit as well. I used one for quite a while before just leaving the tow hook in all the time.

Craven has one out now too called the Platypus which I installed in December. It's very stout and holds the plate rigid. Plus it has badge holders you can add.
Here's a link: http://www.cravenspeed.com/index.php...g=the-platypus
Just another option

Craven's Platypus (which I have) is the way to go, in my opinion . . .

this is the one I have, a little pricier than the others but very well machined and thought out.

The golden rule with these brackets: the less parts, the better.

I have the GoMiniGo version. They were on the market first, smaller company, and deserves our support.
