This is the European factory MINI Front License Plate Holder to hold the Euro style front license plate. This particular Cooper front bracket is fairly thin and flexible. It is secured into the bumper with 2 screws (not included).
Fits:
07/2004-2006 R50 MINI Cooper Hatchback
2005-2008 R52 MINI Cooper Convertibles
Hardware not included.
For other options, see NMX8660-P.
NOTE: We successfully tested this Euro Plate Holder on the Gen 2 MINIs including R55/56/57/58/59 Cooper and Cooper S models and found the plastic had enough 'give' to fit the contour of the Gen 2 MINIs. There are some flexible tabs on the back side that can be cut off for flush mounting.
For Standard US License Plate Holder, see NMX7600-P.
