Location of front number plate

[Vetracer]

Hello all

Apologies in advance for what may be a silly question but I’m genuinely curious. Looking at the front profile of the Emira, there is a grille which seems to be a functioning vent for the engine bay but also seems like the only logical place the wide rectangular shaped front UK licence plate can be fitted. Probably not a concern for you US folks as I believe most states only mandate a rear plate?

Can anyone confirm if this is where the front licence plate will go and that the grille is actually not an engine bay vent?

Here’s a road going validation car registered by the factory which should help…..

It’s such a shame - it does ruin the look of the front end somewhat.

What exactly is the purpose of a front plate anyway? I can see the rear plate I guess, but even that seems unnecessary if you are carrying a valid registration in your glove box.

In the UK, with both front and rear facing revenue generators, or should I say speed cameras, there’s no way we’ll get rid of front plates

It's only a subtle difference, but I think slightly lower down looks better:

I removed the front plate on my f type. Kept it in the car. Got stopped once in a year.

The Chinese car has the plate inside the black vent area. As I’ve got a black plate (with silver lettering) this would be my preference.
