A little Chinese guy around my way owns a matt black one and he can barely see over the steering wheel!!!!!!
All to do with bonnet clearnce on the engine to meet EU. Remember reading some one had moved forward at a junction and touched the car in front and it went off. from what they where saying they are rams that work on an explosion (not semtex!) and the whole units have to be replaced and it cost upwards of 5K. Went out in a friends and they're an awesome bit of kit. hit 186mph on the ring and it has an incredible turn of speed. Well worth the buy i would say.
