I think they're done to hide the age of the vehicle, so those who can read number plates but are not familiar with bus bodies (seeing as the Gemini has been replaced with the Gemini II) would consider them to be new buses. It's a practice utilised by Transdev in Harrogate with the buses on their 36 route.

wonder if Arrivas geminis will get the upgraded front end like Transdev ones
