No Holes License Plate Holder?

Does anyone have one? Is it any good? Can you make any recommendations? Pictures would be appreciated, too.

Cravenspeed has a good one.

I have the Cravenspeed, but can't show you pics yet because I don't have plates, so have not bothered to install. I'll post pics in the R60 section when I get plates.

I have a Go-MINI-Go, no holes license plate holder. It is all stainless and good quality.

They are not far from where I live, so I went there to pick it up and they installed it for me! Real friendly people.

Those look like good choices. I think I may go with the Cravenspeed though, unless someone has something better...

With my 2012 Clubman JCW finally going from On Order to Scheduled for production (took 6 weeks), I need to order a tow hook mount front plate and this looks like the best due to the 360 degree swivel mount:

Has anyone tried this from US Mill Works or know if it will work on the MINIs - looking at probably the 1-Series Standard kit?

The US Mill Works one looks well thought out. They have an e-mail address and I bet they would be willing to look into which mount to use on a MINI. Also, they aren't much more expensive than the competition with the ability to swivel? Sounds good to me...though I'll probably wait until I am formally requested to have a front plate!

i have the go mini go one because it follows the contour of the body a little better than the craven speed one. there were some pictures in the R60 section of the two of them, and while the craven speed looked better with out a license plate on it, the go mini go one looked better (and more adjustable) with one on. just my two cents!

I know this post is a month old but another option that I just found while looking for one is:

They are actually just up the road from me so am thinking about giving this one a go.

Cheers
