Hi,

I installed my 240v inlet on drivers side half way between door & rear wheel arch. There is plenty of depth in this location between the outer skin and the internal facia panal. The best way to determine the location for you is to remove the internal facia and have a look to see where there is sufficiant depth to accomadate the type of inlet you have to fit.

Have the panel off ready for the wheel arch to be repaired. I will probably fit in a similar position - how did you manage to cut out the hole?

Mine's fitted half way along the drivers side.

This is the best tool to use as it does not distort the panel at all:
