I only know because I checked - we were planning on doing the same thing. I heartily disagree with that call, but this thread isn't for complaining. How else would you read that number, especially when it's the only thing with a white background?!

What it looks like we'll end up doing is very-long white plates along the edge of the drivetrain with the right numbering on it. Still ugly, but at least existing in its own zone away from our pretty paneling.

I think the biggest thing teams can do to make these plates less horrible is use their correct font. (If your team doesn't have a consistent font use for your numbers ... take a look at your team's branding & fix it!) As long as it fits the stroke requirements it'll at least make the placard look sort-of-intentional.
