Mini Cooper License Plate Holder
For MINI owners living in areas that require the front license plate and don't want to drill holes in the front bumper, these License Plate Holders are your answer. These are alternatives to the factory brackets that gets screwed into the bumper.
Using the front tow hook mounting hole, these holders allow you to attach the front plate without additional mounting holes.

Two manufactures supply their versions of the same solution:

• The Platypus License Plate Holder
• 'No Holes' License Plate Holder

What's the difference between this 'PLATYPUS' unit and the 'No Holes' unit?

Hey Don,
Just ordered the Platypus for our '13 Convert.

I guess Michigan doesn't require front tag (dealer didn't drill or ask).

But I'm in IL and it's probably just a matter of time before the flashing lights show up behind us one day.
