Quick'n'dirty pic of my new front end

[DreXeL]

Ouch, some harsh comments. Still, I expect the usual mixed bag, that's the beauty of this place

As for 'bodge', all I can say is it looks a lot better in the flesh, even with 'those' lights. Like I said, they work well with the bumper and FMIC, giving it a really aggresive look. The gaps don't look anywhere near as bad either.

I'll be getting some better pics soon, hopefully they will give a better impression of the way it looks in the flesh.

Looks aside, the difference in airflow is amazing. My old bumper had a tiny opening, and only a small portion of the I/C was actually exposed, so it (and the rad) weren't working too well. My intake and water temps frequently got silly, but now my water temp hovers between 75-85, and my intake temps don't get above 30, even when gunning it hard.

That's a good 20 degree drop for both

That's a good enough reason for me!

Smooth the middle lights, keep the flappy ones and the fogs.

That car used to look nice

Looks like a blunt wedge (of soap) and very ugly - HOWEVER - I shall reserve final judgement till I see some other photos

Were you driving along the ring road towards Bath around 1hr 30mins ago?

Hmm not sure, front kinda looks awkward with two sets of lights, but if you like it then that's all that matters.

 

[R220]

I like it mate

 

[iPWN]

if the gaps weren't there this would look so much better. the IC needs some protection, but thats your call.

The lights aren't bad - remind me a bit of the zonda tho, am I the only one

 

[merlin]

Looks better than it did, but it's still ugly.

Still, anything that can do the clovers at over 60mph is above critisism imo.

Thats because of the Headlights, They are kinda like what Zonda ligts are like

I dont know if i like it or not

To me it looks a bit crowded

Sounds like a good enough reason for a remap to me

Reserving judgement til we get some better pics

Looks great Ben, really do like the look of it.

Seems to follow the lines of the the bonnet well,

 

[Scottland]

I quite like it though, I agree with the black mesh comments. Maybe you could just spray the IC black?

I still don't like the lights though

 

[Tdh1987]

Looks horrible mate, sorry.

Looked much better before, and I mean before you put the new main lights on.

 

[L0rdMike]

As long as you love it then thats what really matters.

Bring it to the RR day so we can have a look.

 

[mc_bob]

It looks a bit "in your face", but quite like it.

I want to see a decent picture though
