Honeycomb mesh grill - hole ????

[T6 KFR]

right, as i have said on a few other posts, i am currently getting MCS bumpers fitted to my cooper.

I picked up the bumper inserts yesterday for JC's and when took it home i noticed a small hole left hand side of the bumper insert (if i remember itis the driver side)... what is this hole for? My cooper insert doesnt have one.

Could it be for the air temp thingy :I

This is for the towing eye.For when you need a tow not that a mini should ever need to be towed. The Older bumpers chrome bits Cover this up slightly.
No Need to worry unless you have't go the cover......
The Temperature sensor is below the Bonnet grill about 3cm down from the top of the bumper.
Where you getting your bumpers fitted??

Then it's for the towing eye..
Coopers and Ones have a bumper coloured blanking plate covering this, in the S and Aero kit it's behind a blanking plate in the honeycomb grille at the number plate, all three on the Drivers side... :D
