Installed a fixed charging point in the grill








I finally installed a fixed charging point in the grill of my car,.

Pic 1: CTEK cable set (3 meter).

Pic 2: Remove the 2 covers on passenger side.

Pic 3, 4, 5: Open the fuse box cover. Connect the pos cable with a M6 mutter to M1 in the fuse box, and the negative cable to the neg post.

Pic 6: Wire to the grill. Can be installed without remove the grill.

Pic 7: Install the charging point to the lower part of the front/grill.

Great solution for charging while keeping the car locked. Keep an eye on the connector for signs of corrosion. It seems to be at a height that could be susceptible to roadway splashback.

Looks good. Someone on here recently installed a magnetic charger port which is pretty cool.
