Do you have a rectangular cutout above your plate?

I was poking around underneath my 07 Elise, and noticed a rectangular cutout directly above my license plate (through the clam). There is nothing to block it off. Is this a feature, or has someone "added lightmess" :)

It is believed that the "cut out" is a left of of the manufacturing process jigging. They all have it, and there seems to be no other purpose for it. :shrug:

I use this access on my 2005 Elise for the battery tender cable. Saves me from having to open the boot to charge the car.

The other day I drove the car forgetting to remove the charger I found it about a 1/2 mile away. -eek- Little scrapped up but no worse. I now put a sign on the dash so I remember when it is charging.:D
