As the number plates in Austria are quite big it’s aesthetically painful fixing these to the GTE. I found a good solution for the rear plate but struggle with the one in the front. The best solution would be under the front bumper, but the plate would cover 3/4 of the two lower air inlets. My concern is that the reduced air flow might cause problems with overheating. Does anybody have experience with this?
My apologies for using a pic of the web but I wanted to show the difference between the sizes. The blue frame is what my number would be. Any comment highly appreciated, thank you.
Position of number plate
Re: Position of number plate
The only way to know is to try it! I have found the stock cooling system and 250 engine tend to run cooler than a 330. Idling in traffic with the stock fan seems to keep the car cool even though the design seems pretty inefficient. I have found the 330s, with a larger displacement with more heat to dissipate needs more help in traffic.
Good luck!
