Will this bolt straight to my MINI without drilling?

Yes. This bracket uses factory mounting points — no drilling or frame modification required. Hand-torque fasteners to secure, then mount your plate.

Do I need hardware to install this?

The bracket itself is included. You'll need fasteners to secure it to your vehicle's factory attachment points — check your MINI's service manual or hardware kit for correct sizing and torque specs.

Does the black finish need paint or prep before install?

The finish ships ready to install. If you want to match custom paint or add a protective coat, prep and paint before bolting it down — no primer needed on arrival.
