I'd say that cooling maybe the reason you haven't seen this before.

That's it, blocks the air to the rad. Only thing is my Amuse bumper mounts the plate there and they would take all that into account id presume.

Cooling did cross my mind but I'd only be using a max of 70% of full size plate.

Think you might get a lot of hassle from the long arm of the law with that tbh....

70% of a normal sized plate could still block almost 50% of the air flow to your rad.

I know a non-full sized plate could attract some unwanted attention but I'd hope that if it had all the necessary info on it (like a, rectangular, motorbike plate for example), that it might be ok...
That or the stickers, which I have now - though I'm not a fan of sticker reg's.

Anyhow, collected her this morning. Will be the weekend before I get some time to properly inspect her though, if even then, something in work I'll probably need to spend time preparing for

mmmm

Hoping to yes - going off the booze for a while to help make up for the money spent on it, which makes a Sunday morning appearance all the more likely!

Got the first little scratch on it last night I had to park next to the hedge in my driveway and stupidly opened the door too far - its fairly light though to not too noticeable and a bit of polish will hopefully help.

Have you any more news on going to IOMM?
