Any unregistered car (e.g. unsold stock) would only get a plate when sold. This one has the Vintage Pack which was introduced in 2004 so could easily make sense it was hanging around in stock and/or someone waited for March 1st to register.

OR since the grille is actually wrong for the Vintage Pack it could have had a front-end rebuild at some point? Or it was a factory hybrid as they crossed over to facelift.

You could spec the darker grill from new even on the vintage pack so owner may have just preferred the darker grill maybe.
