NY Moors, the road from/to Hutton-le-Hole? If so, quite often see interesting stuff when I'm up there, seems quite a popular road.

Exactly.

This is coming from Hutton-le-hole up to Lion Inn.

Are you not allowed to put a sticky one across the bonnet?

I must admit, I've done that a few times in this thread.

Stick on plates are illegal, but unlikely to get you in trouble.
There have been a few historic exceptions, like the E-Type.

Model 3 is stick on from the factory IIRC (front).

To clarify I mean plates made of vinyl, not acryllic or plastic plates which are stuck on with adhesive.
Like that criminal @grudas' front plate on his S2K for example!

Same on my Insight - 12 years, no problem. Guess everyone knows its for aero optimisation

Muhah! That made me laugh more than it should have!

From 1st September 3d number plates are banned unless its a historic vehicle. also it seems pre 1973 its legal to have them stuck on your bonnet.

Saw this pair outside my nearest Costa...

What are the vents for? When I had my 996, they were intakes for the turbo radiators iirc, but it would seem odd to have that setup for turbos now, then change it for that car, unless it's more air for the engine.

Yeah I followed - looks like it is aftermarket but vinyl front plates are now a Tesla thing it seems!

Engine cooling.

Engine cooling.

I guess it's a big engine, as none turboed, and imo cooling is always an issue in a 911 just because there's the rest of the far in the way. I bet it sounds epic.

air intake

air intake

I think on mine the intake was whatever came through the vents. I've had a Google but can't get the picture pasted (viewing from my phone). Must be a serious amount of air the modern ones are sucking in.

On the Cayman/Boxster which is what Jonny has posted (for some reason) the intakes are split for engine cooling and air. On the 911 it's engine cooling.

2 awesome colours
favoured more to the blue though

Normally the radiator is at the front and the engine intake gets air from the side vents. On a mid engine car anyway.

The problem with side vents is a lot of crap thrown up by the tyres goes in to them and destroys filters quite quickly.
