Front Euro Plate for JCW Aero Bumper

Does anyone know for a fact what euro plate frame would fit on the front jcw aero bumper? I saw a universal one on ECS that wont ship until May 14th for some reason and then this one on MiniMania that looks like it may work. Has anyone had experience with these or another brand?

The bumper already has the holes from a previous front mount (bought it from Texas, I'm in FL) so I was hoping to reuse those too if possible. I'm trying to achieve the WC50 look as I have a green JCW

One we have is the universal plate mount and holder.

That other ones is the plate bracket that is made for each model. On the Gen1 MINI you could get it, Its fitted and curved to the bumper then you can mount that plate frame bracket on top.

For Gen 2 MINIs + they never had a back mount they just use a universal and drill it to the bumper with small self tapping screws.

So you're saying for the Gen 2's, the only option is the universal mount? Have you seen any photos of that mount on a car?
