Is it possible to remove the cover, install the plate and then reinstall the cover over the plate?
This would be similar to the C5 setup.
I saw earlier pics and it looked like a little Dremeling is required to remove some of the reinforcers on the cover.
I already went over this a while ago, but yes I think it could be done. I have not done it, but looked as soon as I got my car.
There are a couple of center ribs on the back of the cover that need to be dremeled off. Then the plate itself needs a couple of notches in the upper corners to clear the clips. Then I think it would work.
