I have had them on my mercedes, rover, and mini. I never drill holes.

I just buy the frame like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Europ...QQcmdZViewItem (you can get them in black or chrome.

Then I use 3M double sided car molding tape to hold it to the car. http://3m.hillas.com/pc-13848-1412-3...ding-tape.aspx (or you can get it from Autozone like I do)

Put a strip all the way along the top stick it to bumper. It will never budge but can be taken off and no holes needed.

The GoMiniGo no holes plate holder comes in a Euro plate version

I have the standard version and it's very nice

But its not straight and it blocks air flow that way. Why spend a lot when 3M molding tape it all you need?

No offense intended, I prefer to have the plate away from the car and thought Dwell might be interested in another option.

Oh none taken and none implied with mine either. Just my mother rubbing off always telling me to match and everything even, LOL.

Only blocks the grill the early MINIs as thatis where the tow hook point. On Dwell's MINI the tow hook is on the body above the opeming so no bloackage. It also is adjustable to sit straight and true to the MINI. The Euro Kit looks really nice on a newer MINI.
