Be nice to have one with a shutter over it to stop it getting covered in sh.... road muck, similar to what VW do hiding it behind the badge.

Anybody know if anyone does anything like that.

I fitted one similar to the one in the photo to the rear of my Vitara inside the rear window and it worked ok, unless the rear window was steamed up....Then on my next Vitara mounted it just above the number plate but water got in, I then got a 'truck' one and its been fantastic, but would sadly be rather big on the back of an MX!

Well I think my day of steaming up rear windows are behind me (unfortunately) but obviously that wouldn’t be practical in the 5 anyhow, I’m also thinking of the possibility of some sort of washing device, unfortunately I still tied to a hospital be (literally) so can’t even get to my garage to check things out.

On the Mk3 there's a black rectangle on the underside of the boot lid between the number plate lights, does anyone know what it is or if it's ok to remove it so I can try to mount something there?

I’ve been thinking a similar thing, itching for a reply myself.

Anyone know if it's possible to get a replacement boot blanking plate in case it all goes horribly wrong?

Just found this photo on the web. The owner had the mount 3D printed.

Think I’d keep my existing plate and 3D print one from the off as I have good access to printers.
