Mckay, the thing is with having the front plate there, imo you're spoiling the look of
the car by blocking the airflow through the open grille. To me, it looks as though you're not
particularly bothered about the car's cooling ability. And the us spec short recess bumper
visually doesn't flow as good as ours does across that phat rear. Just to sweeten my plates
up a little i got my mate in the shop to reduce the overall size of the font ever so slightly,
it's subtle but it works for me.


i get what you are saying about cooling and i understand that it will be blockin it a bit but its not a full size plate and the font is smaller so i wouldnt imagine it blockin it to much had it this way for a few months now and never had any issues..

Yeah gotcha, but what i meant was . . . even if there are no issues by having the plate there

(and i doubt there would be to be honest) imo it's one of those golden rules you don't break

if you want your car to look right, you just don't block open grilles, not even by a tiny bit  :happy2:
