The camera is fitted above the number plate.
No its not as it contains the lights etc. Why not put the fixing bracket behind the number plate by removing the number plate first and then replacing it?If that rear spoiler is easily removed I am hopeful that the backplate of the camera can lip behind where the MG logo is. My editing skills are not the best with images, but like this.....
My reasoning was due to the problem others have had with the UK registrations plates and the cylinder of the camera being too close to and impeding the lettering, especially if you have the solar panel attachment. It simply looked tidy there in exactly the same location as the Trophy models own rear camera.No its not as it contains the lights etc. Why not put the fixing bracket behind the number plate by removing the number plate first and then replacing it?

Seems like a win/win all round, aesthetically and practically to fit the camera to a reg plate frame. Certainly what I will be doing when we receive ours.View attachment 16820How the Luxury/Trophy looks wit a registrationplate holder. Should be fine to atatch a camera to/behind that holder.
Post in thread 'Aftermarket review camera for MG4 SE'We are going to add this camera to ours when our ordered SE LR arrives. I am thinking of looking at mounting it at the bottom lip of the boot hatch maybe, If its backplate can be tucked inside the trim there maybe?
Hi Tex, This looks good how did you do it ? Also , how easy was it to fit behind the number plate ? Did the number plate screw off easily ? Did the camera either block the number plate letters or light ? Thanks.Hi have just refitted the wireless camera from the number plate bracket
looks better tucked in at lower bumper level.
hi if fitted to the number plate it blocks part of the reg.hence my idea to fix to lower bumper I used very strong 3m stickers seems to be fine I plug in the charger with camera left on car so as to not affect sticker pads.as other guys on the forum you can get a number plate holder that you can fit bracket behind and leaves the reg clear. hope this is of some help.Hi Tex, This looks good how did you do it ?

It is neater, problem for us is that this is our first lease car and we don't want to tap into the reverse tail light cable. The mobile phone shelf without wireless charging is somewhat redundant anyways so this plug and play and easy remove option is good for anyone that is leasing.rayzfun has fitted a neater option here
The SE's have reversing sensors but if you defiantly need a reversing camera you will either have to fit a third party one or cancel your order and get a Trophy.One thing is bothering me waiting for my 73 plate MG4 SE SR is the lack of a reversing camera. I mean I really rely on it and made a mistake of not realising it doesn’t have one. Any help with this plz?
Ah thanks it’s got the sensors but I’ll have to try driving atm without using mine in my Kia niro to get used to it! I’m quite scared as MGs used to get laughed at but mines going to be pearl black and I love it and can’t wait ? thanks for replying ?The SE's have reversing sensors but if you defiantly need a reversing camera you will either have to fit a third party one or cancel your order and get a Trophy.
