I personally dislike the wing mounted plate. It's sort of pseudo racer.
I'm with you John.
I can just imagine the discussion about the new variant: we have flat rad, cowled, short door, long door, and now long grill.
Yes, after all the reason that the racers slapped a stick-on numberplate on the wing was because they didn't give a toss what it looked like, but it had to go somewhere and they'd taken off all the bits like bumpers on which it would normally be mounted.
