Front Plate

So I installed the stealth plate this weekend. I works well and took me about an hour to install. Three 9/16th holes under the front bumper faring, and two screws into the plastic engine housing next to the passenger headlight is all that needs to be done in term of 'damage' to the mini.

Will post some installation pics and a video when I get a chance.

PS I am now feeling very Jamshe Bond!

pretty cool!

My only question is - since MA requires a front plate (unless you have the old green one like me!) How will you use this?

Leave ti hidden until pulled over then pop out?

Or are we talking more for car shows etc..?

Just curious!

Well needs to be out for Inspections and if for some reason I get pulled over, but I pretty much plan to leave it down otherwise and leave the airflow unimpeded.
