Description

Not a fan of front license plates or drilling holes in new cars. Unfortunately my state requires it. Made this to avoid tickets and mount the license plate to the front bumper without altering the car. Fits 2021 Mini Cooper S 2dr Hatchback (F56), perhaps other models from before this year, but I believe the 2022 is too different. Fit is tight, but this was made for parking lots, not while the car is in motion (although it may work for that). Attach parts between mount and license plate, then slide in right above the front bumper and it should clip into place. To remove lift straight up and out.

Pricing assumptions and exclusions

USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.

Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.

Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
