I have used US Mill Works tow hook plate mounts before & their design/quality
is far superior to the other units out there. All parts are billet powder coated aluminum with a myriad of mounting holes for left-right plate offset adjustment.
They also offer a true pivoting 360 ball joint mount system that attaches to the toe hook for perfect bumper angle adjustments.
The unit is also designed for Mini's with fog/rally light option installed.

 

Ive been toying with idea of getting one of these. Looks like its really good quality.

 

I picked up the cravenspeed one off a recommendation from a coworker since I definitely didn't want to drill into my bumper. I'll put it on once my plates get here.

 

Don't forget to order the oem JCW plate frames. Since u actually have a real JCW . They look great.

 

That JCW plate frame is a nice touch.

The standard screws we provide with your Platypus will not be long enough for a plate frame, though. We like it to sit very close to the bumper, so if you used longer plate bolts without a plate frame they would come right out the back to the car. I am happy to send longer bolts for a plate frame free, either with the initial order or afterward.

 

So Kellen I just received my mini-platypus-pro-series-license-plate-mount in the mail last weekend and your saying the bolts wont fit a plate frame? What all do you need me to do so I can get the longer bolts from you guys?

 

That's correct, you'll need longer stainless buttonheads to add the frame around your plate. I will send you a PM to get an dress and then I will send you some.

Looks good. But boy am I glad I don't have to mess with a front plate. Even good looking ones can only look so good!

 

This is one of the few aftermarket parts I didn't
buy from Kellen. I liked the US Millworks I had on my R56 so much that I ordered one for the new car.
