Took a few decent shots of the R when I got out of work this evening. Did a quick touch free wash and didn’t even dry it. Lol. Just bored and wanted to play with my dusty ass camera gear. ![https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-iGiHtLsgGUo/UbU2bHNLSKI/AAAAAAAAEFM/6LpJPY8fRqw/w924-h616-no/IMG_2747.jpg](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-iGiHtLsgGUo/UbU2bHNLSKI/AAAAAAAAEFM/6LpJPY8fRqw/w924-h616-no/IMG_2747.jpg) ![https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-GWcV-tR405k/UbU2Y0S8e_I/AAAAAAAAEFE/fBb87b6xmnk/w924-h616-no/IMG_2749.jpg](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-GWcV-tR405k/UbU2Y0S8e_I/AAAAAAAAEFE/fBb87b6xmnk/w924-h616-no/IMG_2749.jpg) ![https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ZxgZjg0z3Ao/UbU2fzrnwsI/AAAAAAAAEFU/_otJFsrNTQM/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2750.jpg](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ZxgZjg0z3Ao/UbU2fzrnwsI/AAAAAAAAEFU/_otJFsrNTQM/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2750.jpg) ![https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-wBn0ALFT-jA/UbU2i9daeTI/AAAAAAAAEFk/wmTgkaY_Vqg/w924-h616-no/IMG_2754.jpg](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-wBn0ALFT-jA/UbU2i9daeTI/AAAAAAAAEFk/wmTgkaY_Vqg/w924-h616-no/IMG_2754.jpg) ![https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GHN2OIhksqw/UbU2iUSeJjI/AAAAAAAAEFg/0Pu5IB0nCOY/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2759.jpg](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GHN2OIhksqw/UbU2iUSeJjI/AAAAAAAAEFg/0Pu5IB0nCOY/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2759.jpg) ![https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MPwVuaoRevU/UbU2rXu5heI/AAAAAAAAEF0/r2dq18p4cZM/w924-h616-no/IMG_2764.jpg](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MPwVuaoRevU/UbU2rXu5heI/AAAAAAAAEF0/r2dq18p4cZM/w924-h616-no/IMG_2764.jpg) ![https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-rdukRGXqgMc/UbU2shmUR5I/AAAAAAAAEF8/-bYExMLtHSg/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2767.jpg](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-rdukRGXqgMc/UbU2shmUR5I/AAAAAAAAEF8/-bYExMLtHSg/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2767.jpg) ![https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MRa8xj3kv7o/UbU2zR0ilSI/AAAAAAAAEGU/ULXVB8RBOI0/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2771.jpg](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MRa8xj3kv7o/UbU2zR0ilSI/AAAAAAAAEGU/ULXVB8RBOI0/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2771.jpg) ![https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-60tNaiEiQzk/UbU2x3K6FQI/AAAAAAAAEGE/15jw_StNauw/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2772.jpg](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-60tNaiEiQzk/UbU2x3K6FQI/AAAAAAAAEGE/15jw_StNauw/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2772.jpg) ![https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-0YXVhu1MYUk/UbU2zCniXbI/AAAAAAAAEGQ/ioL190GMVO8/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2777.jpg](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-0YXVhu1MYUk/UbU2zCniXbI/AAAAAAAAEGQ/ioL190GMVO8/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2777.jpg) ![https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-vXP1RNU3Bcw/UbU23nHXdeI/AAAAAAAAEGc/tf44Z0boRDo/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2780.jpg](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-vXP1RNU3Bcw/UbU23nHXdeI/AAAAAAAAEGc/tf44Z0boRDo/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2780.jpg) ![https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-dzRpiBK0RM0/UbU26VgPDYI/AAAAAAAAEGs/Gj06DhpzK4A/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2784.jpg](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-dzRpiBK0RM0/UbU26VgPDYI/AAAAAAAAEGs/Gj06DhpzK4A/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2784.jpg) ![https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-RaSWC7Pxy18/UbU24hwEJWI/AAAAAAAAEGk/0_2-g_toKdo/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2790.jpg](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-RaSWC7Pxy18/UbU24hwEJWI/AAAAAAAAEGk/0_2-g_toKdo/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2790.jpg) ![https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-062Uhp-yTeI/UbU2-I7UetI/AAAAAAAAEG0/f4ot9yMdyeI/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2794.jpg](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-062Uhp-yTeI/UbU2-I7UetI/AAAAAAAAEG0/f4ot9yMdyeI/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2794.jpg) ![https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Btdbe7KNfiw/UbU2_WkLWZI/AAAAAAAAEHE/q_w6_GhwXyE/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2803.jpg](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Btdbe7KNfiw/UbU2_WkLWZI/AAAAAAAAEHE/q_w6_GhwXyE/w1044-h587-no/IMG_2803.jpg) ---

Thank you all. The plate can be removed easily as its in the tow hook spot. It can’t just be unscrewed unfortunately because as you rotate the assembly it would hit the bumper. I would need to remove the plate, listen the pivot mount and unscrew it carefully from the tow hook receiver. Not worth it IMO for a very impromptu photo-shoot (more like random nice pictures). ESC is fully defeatable now. All other countries other than the US could fully deactivate ESC where as in the US would could only deactivate ASR (from the factory). A quick coding change to the ABS system takes care of that 🙂 ---
