2 more basic tow hooks. I didn't want to drill the original bumper plug on the Clubman, so I ordered a replacement from Classic Mini Parts (under $10). Drilling it was tricky, the plug is at a slight angle. I drilled it for a tight fit, then carefully reamed it to fit better with a rotary tool with a barrel shaped fine sanding tip. The replacement plug was only "primed" for painting, so I got a rattle can of Pepper White from Minspeed. The stickers are available from various NAM vendors.
