Any idea whats meant too be in this hole?!

Post by Plan3tBob »

I was looking over the rear to find where to mount a reversing camera and found a big hole in the rear bumper above the number plate in the centre.

There are two mounting holes.. just wondered what was meant to be in there?!

Note that there is nothing there at all currently... I can put my hand right in.. :?:

So essentially nothing, don't panic!
In fact, use it for the camera?

I don't have a Centre Hole like the RX-8's as the Pressure Smart Locking Pad for the Boot Release is there instead :thumright:
