Front License Plate Question

I want to mount a European or standard license plate to the front of my 05 Mini Cooper and don't want to just drill holes in the bumper and screw it on.

Are the any mounting frames for this, like the "Detroit Irons Makers" supply with their cars, for states requiring front and rear plates? Tennessee doesn't!!

My 03 MCS came with a bracket for a front mounte plate. Of course, you have to drill 2 holes in the front bumper to mount it. I believe you should have gotten one with your new MINI and you might want to ask your dealership about it.

I also did not get a license plate bracket on my 05.

My MCS has two little places where you obviously screw through to mount the license plate bracket. When I first notices them, I mistook them for nasty road dings!
