I see the options include the following, but in some cases I have concerns:
Had some idiot roll back into me at traffic light the other day, so know there are things that can happen.
The Torklift and Skene options may be OK if the nosecone projects beyond the plates, although this will not help if you bump into a low object.
Nosecone mount unfortunately looks like lowest risk and easiest replacement.
Still trying to decide what to do. May try the Torklift, but want to check out if grill is easy to replace (and not too expensive).

- Torklift : looks great BUT is firmly anchored to grill; if plate is hit e.g. by vehicle rolling back, grill is damaged, could be expensive
- Skene: looks great BUT is firmly anchored to bumper; if plate is hit e.g. by vehicle rolling back, bumper is damaged, will be expensive
- J-bolts: looks good BUT may cause wear on bumper surfaces over time where plate touches bumper
- Tie wraps: looks OK BUT may cause wear on bumper surfaces over time where plate touches bumper and tie wraps may fail with age
