Just moved over from the Griff forum and the deal has been done (thanks George) swopped my griff and some hard earned for the Cerbera in the classifieds! Only one minor problem so far, my drive leading towards my garage is slightly sloping and has ripped my front number plate clean off! As you will see from the new pic in my profile looks like it was fitted a bit too low anyway! Will refit a bit higher and perhaps approach the garage a bit slower!!

It does look too low, your right. Mine,(and I think most others)is fastened to the middle bar of the grill.

Not a bad price, happy with the deal. Will try the plate on the middle bar, I assume that this doesn't restrict airflow as looking at pics on the net everyone seems to have it mounted there! This will of course leave me two nice holes on the bottom bar! I have had the car less than six hours and I am already having to get the touch up paint out! Aside from that so far enjoying the change over, a different car altogether from the Griff!

Can't guarantee that the middle bar (standard) placement won't interfere with air intake. Mine came with a much smaller licence plate for the front presumably with this in mind.

It will look better in the middle I would say.

Welcome to this side of the board as well!

mark has lowered ours down, but not passed the bottom bar!! that is just too low.

The top of our plate is fixed to the centre bar, I think it looks good

any excuse to post a pic of our car

Hiya, and welcome, checkout the pic on my profile, it shows the plate fastened to the centre bar fastened through the centre line of the plate. Airflow is less interrupted as it can pass both below and above the reg. plate.
hope this helps,
regards,
Cooky

No, but you do look like a sad case for spelling 'pits' wrong!

thanks I think so, and it doesn't seem to affect the airflow
