Replacing base plate for number/license plate (Cooper Convertible)

Only use the vehicle-specific number plate baseplate.

The installation of other license plate baseplates is not permissible.

The license plate must be mounted exactly on the number plate baseplate.

If a number plate baseplate is not offered for the corresponding national-market version, the license plate must be mounted directly on the bumper using a drilling template

Incorrect assembly leads to a malfunction of the sensors of the driver assist systems.
