    Question What is the use for this little hatch at the front?

    Hello,

    I duck-taped the fog light blanks at the front of my Mirage and also taped over this little rectangular hatch at the front, see photo.

    Now, I am wondering whether I should have omitted this part? What is the purpose of this entry?
    A look inside shows a tapped hole...

    thx for your info.

    alright, thx.

    Now I have to be careful and hopefully never get towed.
