Yea I've noticed from a lot of pics that most cars seem to have some little triangle gussets at each end of the plate, mine didn't have that, maybe a la upgrade? anyway like I said I needed a dirty great big hole in the top to pass the reservoirs through, and even in the alfa it wasn't not uncommon to get completely airborne on some of the rally stages, so I bit of extra strength in that area can't hurt
cheers
