Looks way better in the last pic, for me the sunstrip ruins the look totally (not a dig at Stu btw, it wouldn't matter what name was there!). I'd also loose the phone number off the tailgate, why does that need to be there?? Other than that looks cool

Btw the larger plate wont necessarily restrict air flow to the intercooler, it could actually help!

Smaller plate with normal style lettering would look best imo.

It's actually regarding an Imprezza, Pro Drive did proper testing with and without number plate and found the rad got more air with the number plate fitted You will have to do your own testing on a Cossy!
