Just cos it looks crap doesn't mean you don't have to fit it unfortunately
Carl Knight seems to have got an exemtion letter from the DVLA for his - have a look here:

Presumably he wrote to DVLA saying he couldn't fit a plate and they responded with exception.

He could quite easily fit one and the BiB would read that excemption letter see there is space and fine him suitably. As they should.

Now if he'd sent pictures of the car and DVLA agreed it didn't need a plate, then that's another story..... but I doubt he did.

Personally it's not worth the hassle of getting stopped regularly.

Is it not ok to stick a number on the nose cone like lots of other sports cars?

A number plate made up of stickers over the nose will not currently pass an MOT so it's a good job it only has to be there once a year then. A square lorry type plate with 50x 12mm holes drilled through the white section will.
