It is required for European homologation. Personally I don't mind it and I think it is an important safety feature. I assume you are talking about the cobra light. The light fitted to the models that do not have a spare wheel is much less obtrusive. It is hard to imagine what else you could do.

A wing or a spoiler at the back would look even more out of place, but it might stop the backdraft into the cockpit idea
