Does anyone make a filler plate for the stock ugly plastic license plate mounting bracket? I am in OH and we have front plates. I want to relocate the plate with the front tow hook socket bracket, but no sense unless I can get rid of the original moulded bracket. Thanks in advance and this is my first post.

 

Take the bracket out and put in a europlate. Then you get the best of both worlds.

 

I am in Ohio and need to keep the stock front plate. Anyone running a Europlate with a US plate on a tow hook bracket? Too much?

 

Not mine but here is an option.

Two license plate on the front of a MINI is two too many.

Plug the holes in the bumper and go with the tow hook plate that you can remove when possible.

 

he has an '04 (pre-facelift) cooper, so he has the plate bracket integrated into that detachable piece/portion of bumper where the euro-sized plate would otherwise mount to. it doesn't look like there's a filler flush w/ the bumper, not from the factory anyway. maybe you can just remove that piece of integrated bracket? but that'd look funny w/ the tow hook-mounted plate

 

I cant find an aftermarket filler plate either. I think I will make a filler plate myself and paint it, then use the tow hook bracket. I think it would clean up the front end quite a bit.

 

I think he just mounted that plate in the recess that the plate holder sits in. That might be an idea. I will have to take the stock bracket off and give it a look.

 

Hate to bump this thread, but I'm in the same boat. I don't need a front plate (PA) and I'm looking for alternatives to an empty hole....

Any other ideas?

 

Are you talking about the black plastic tag holder, if so, you can just unscrew them?? It will leave 2 drilled holes in front though, but very small. On previous MCS I placed little plastic screws in holes and touched up in BRG.

No front plates in PA??

 

I'm east of Cinci & I've yet to be stopped or questioned about the lack of a front plate...in fact...while pulled over for speeding, the cop questioned the meaning of the license plate - when I told him (curve eater) he chuckled and said it made sense given the teeth that were on the front of the car (at that time).

 

Negative. It's all one big unit.
