As far as I know, this is legal.   Once you've removed the existing 
numberplate, you will be able to point to the grill and explain to the 
nice policeman that you couldn't possibly put a numberplate there, as 
that is where the air comes in to help cool the rad...

We've all seen Spits with stick-on numberplates, so some owners get away 
with it. Personally, I don't think they look right on Spits, though. 
E-types and Mini Coopers, yes, but not Spitfires.
