On the Roadster you need to be able to pull up the leather tunnel cover to access the gear box oil filler/ level plug which is just where that plate is.
Nice idea though.
Luckily John its just a ‘sprung’ fit, gear-lever in 2/4 and it slides back and over in seconds. If posting photos was easy on an iPhone I would post a picture, imagine a large [ section in polished stainless
