Very, very nice pal.

Do yourself a favour and splash out for PS4’s on the front. They make a world of difference!

Welcome to the exclusive dark grey Stradale club Oliver!! How many times an hour are you nipping outside for a quick glance (and smile) at her??

You are going to get the inevitable questions about the number plate. Do you 1) Leave it on the bracket, 2) Stick down flat on the splitter, 3) Take it off altogether.....????
Most of the group will say take it off, I’m at halfway house with it flat on the splitter. What do we think?

Very nice Oliver. Given spring is still a long way off, maybe we should all bring the car out and meet on a sunny day. I am sure you are also looking for excuses to drive the car! I have had mine for less 2 months, and have done less than 100 miles I think! So any excuse to take her out.

I was just thinking about the same thing. Put my personal plate on - and the front the first afternoon I went out. Looked so much better without, but I have replaced it, don’t really want to give police any excuse to pull me over. Has it happened to anyone ?

Sounds good to me, there’s a greasy spoon at north Weald airfield or any other suggestions.

Most people say the police don’t bother you for no plate but a friend was pulled over in his 488 and got a warning. He did nothing and has been fine since.
I like the flat option as it doesn’t spoil the shape of the grill / front but shows you’re sort of making an effort. A traffic policeman walked round the car while I was filling it up and just complimented it so I guess you’d be unlucky to get trouble.

I have a small plate stuck directly on the bumper, covers the holes for the bracket and looks much neater to my eye. Had it on my GS and now the Strad and never had any trouble with the fuzz.

That looks great, food for thought.
