Comment. My only criticism of this is that I wish there was just a little more space around the car. 109.146.248.31 (talk) 17:31, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Agree with the IP that there could be more space, but this is a very encyclopedic shot, and that makes up for the tiny flaw. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:43, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I like this image... Does it concern anyone that there is a license plate that could potentially identify the owner and (presumably) the phone number of a dealer or garage?--Godot13 (talk) 19:10, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's even stranger: the derivative crop of the plate, File:PL-CBR 7C°.jpg, has the whole bottom line of info blurred out. INeverCry 08:29, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Attempts to edit out licence plates are inevitably distracting, and should only be used if necessary. I suspect it was edited in the crop in order to avoid the advertising made much more prominent by the cropping; that's fair enough, but it's not necessary here where you'd have to look for it.

Free advertising anyways on a nice car like this. Might be a different case if the plate was on some old beater... INeverCry 22:50, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
