Default Mounting a license plate on an aftermarket bumper?

Im gunna order the Shrockworks mid front bumper, but want to know if there is anyway to mount my front license plate to it? I dont feel like getting tickets since you are required to have a front plate in NY.

If you have a winch and fairlead then there are clips you can get at quadratec that snap onto the fairlead.

Here is a picture of it at 4wd. It is $43. Without a winch I don't know about.

Mag light flashlight holders might be a lot cheaper

Instead of spending $43 plus shipping, just drill two or four holes wherever you like it and buy a couple of black sheet metal screws to install plate. Use the remaining $42.75 to buy beer or gas or both.

Mount it low and then proceed to bash it up off-road. Keep re-bending it back into shape. Use it as a jack stand when necessary. You'll look pretty tough with that thrashed and battered plate and make a statement about how much you care for a front plate.

Awesome, didn't realize it came with pre drilled holes. Now the long wait for the bumper begins! Yucca, I remember you from the MINI forums where my name was Antsmini. Sold the MINI for the JK.
