I just ordered this option I found on a Mini site of all places. Serves the purpose well as I can add the front plate but keeps my bumper pretty clean as the drill holes are well hidden underneath the front intake lip and not out on the front of the bumper! Will let you know how it goes...but even with this bracket I can go front plateless too from the looks of it!
Will let you know...get the car back tomorrow afternoon...just had my Eisenmann Sport exhaust installed at Curry's Auto in Dulles this afternoon!
