might be a bit hard to keep the plate in place as the vents are kept on by clips and not screws the normal rs cars, cannot make a plate and screw it on.

get a second hand boot cover, when you leave your car then place the boot cover under the bonnet and close it, this should help.

thats what i did with my RST and also had a car cover. stoped any damp.
