Yea the mount just fixes to the car using spaces in the grill, so you can move it up and down as you wishā¦ Iād say you wouldnāt be far off the top of the grill with that size plate too šš¼
Sorry just seen your reply, I just fancied a change to be honestā¦ the carbonio mount has the plate mounted low down due to my plate size, and I just
