Default bugeye front end question

does the standard bugeye front have a black plastic type grill in the gap below where the number plate goes, hiding the bottom of radiator?

i think someone has nicked mine unless ive just never noticed that there isnt one.

anyone got a pic of the front end that isnt too dark to see

No grill on my JDM WRX - just the plastic surround and centre support thingy - get a Zun sport one if you miss it - I think I will one day...

Sorry, I should have been a bit clearer: the STI has a lower grille, the WRX does not. With the WRX there's just a big hole under the numberplate. This is the best photo I have of my old WRX where you can actually see the area:



Ignore the top bit where I've removed the grille: the bit under the plate has not been touched, and you can see there's no grille. I don't have an equivalent pic for the STI as that area is always in shadow, but the STI has a grille on the gap under the plate, behind that vertical bar you can just make out in the middle.
