A slightly frivolous and aesthetic one this, but last weekend whilst I was changing the radiator I took the front number plate off to clean the air scoop behind and noticed a couple of things. Obviously it restricts air flow to the radiator, but is that a positive thing at speed to reduce the under bonnet pressure? I have on a number of occasions forgotten to twist the bonnet lock and only noticed when it starts floating whilst at speed....

But the real question is, the Cerbera looks seriously cool from the front without a number plate! I now want to move/alter mine, I would imagine a lot of people on here have done this, can you post some pictures please....? I've never been sure of the legalities of stick on number plates either, more common on classics (my Vixen has them hand painted on the bonnet...) but that might look good on a Cerb, keeps the smooth lines flowing?

Cheers

Hi Joe wavey

I once saw someone had put a stick-on plate on the top of the splitter of the radiator 'hole'.
It was not visible from a "Speeding Cam" point of view so was not legal
BUT
At least there was a plate on the front of the car laugh

As it happens this isn't real

A very generous PHer photo-shopped it for me

I've had this on the car for several years

I do always carry a full size legal plate in case I get stopped

That hasn't happened yet

In London most Italian exotica simply ignores the requirement for a front plate
