Default Radiator cooling plate

I'm looking for radiator cooling plate with cutout for VIN plate and J's Racing air intake duct. I can make my own VIN plate and put it somewhere else but I still need cutout for air duct. The finnish MOT inspectors always want to see the VIN plate. I just can't justify buying crazy expensive J's panel (my missus would kill me if I did ). It doesn't have to be made of CF. Do you guys have any idea where to find one?

Might be worth considering buying one and cutting it to suit. I'm having to modify mine at the moment to fit my new intake.

I bought a PWJDM cooling plate and cut it to fit the Mugen intake, it would be easy to cut a window for the vin plate. Their are a few places that make alloy cooling plates ASM do a nice plate but I think it's only for the Mugen intake.

Ninebolts, did you buy pre-cut PWJDM cooling plate? I'm wondering about the fitment of it with J's air duct.

They only sell one cut for their own intake. they said it would work fine with a Mugen, I had to do a lot of trimming to get it to fit!

I'd suggest buying a plain cooling plate , making a paper template then cutting it yourself. cutting carbon fibre is easy.

I would love to have ASM panel but I would need to cut it. J's would be perfect but they're hard to get and expensive. Maybe it's better to make cut to the plastic OEM air guide and buy a spare.
