Default Rear Plate Lights

Was having a close look at my MY06 WRX rear plate yesterday, don't ask why, and noticed a gap above the plate where the plate lights are. I'd not notcied this before and wondered if something had dropped off ?

I'll get a piccie to post, anyone noticed it before ?

hi,
i dont think anything has dropped off, i noticed this a few years back while working under my old 00 model, seems like it is just cost cutting ,ie they might save 3p in plastic for every 5 bumpers they make! you dont see that part normally, so it may as well not be there!

hope this puts your mind at rest
regards
dave

Noticed it as well when washing the car, I thought that it might have an effect on the air flow under the car...just a thought
