I'm going to use a platypus on the front tow hook for the tag.  Someone suggested I can get a spare tow hook cover and drill it out so there won't be this big hole.  I'm thinking the easiest & cheapest way is to go to a junk yard, find some and paint them and drill them. 

Can anyone direct me to some junk yards -- preferrably on the northern side of VA but I'll take what I can get right now.

Thanks!

MINI's are pretty scarce in salvage yards. If they do have a good one they most likely won't want to part it off the bumper assembly. You'll probably do better just ordering a new one from the dealer.

That's really good to know about Mini's being hard to find in a junk yard.  I hear its only about $8 for a cover that I can paint -- that's pretty darn cheap if I mess it up, all things considered.  Thanks for the info!
