I'd like to install a cable at the front to allow a battery conditioner to be easily plugged in and unplugged.

I did this on the DB9 successfully but the loose end came out between the grille slats. Easy to use but always slightly visible. Hence I got a clever person to wire in a magnetic charger under the numberplate, but being unprotected it got wet and dirty and quickly became unreliable.

So this time with a fresh start I think a plug/socket would be best, but where best to put it so it will be concealed but useable? I'm not up to dismantling bumpers etc. Thanks very much.

“ All “ ours are in in different positions.
The Classic defender is wired to the battery under the seat and I just connect with a lead through the door.
The GT8 has a cigarette lighter socket used in the boot.
The R8 has it wired to the battery in the front trunk.
The Dark Horse is wired to the battery under the hood and then the connector is “ connected “ under the back edge of the bonnet.

Something at the front is required. I can do the under-bonnet connections, I'm just looking for a DIY-able exit route forwards and hope someone here has done it successfully with a Vanquish 2, to save me blundering about...!
