That hole is there by design. In the USA it's used for the numberplate light - they only have one, great place for a camera👍
Looked after by Rotary Revs driven hard by me... :D

After changing the bulbs to LEDs twice one has failed, one time it caused an MOT failure then I saw these the other day for the RX-8 (never seen them before) so I have bought two sets so the originals will be replaced and a third added.

Didn't Robert back it out of the garage afterwards and wash it for you to clean off the excess?

Don't know, I was upstairs keeping warm. Could be blow back from the excess underneath.
I had to get home and he had another car to get in and done, so maybe not. Still impressed with the work either way.
