Quick'n'dirty pic of my new front end

Quick photoshop effort:

Mesh, lights removed, sidelights/indicators relocated, gap removed (that gap's really nasty).

Have to say I prefere the old one, looked like batmans car.
 
Sorry guys, but IMO some of these photochops make it look horrible, like some kind of god-awfull kit-car. To me, trying to make that front end all smooth and slippery is missing the point of it. It's an aggressive looking bumper, it's not supposed to be pretty. BTW, you do realise the indicator/sidelight clusters are standard '99 spec items don't you?

As for the mesh, that isn't going to happen. I love to see the I/C like that, it adds to the aggression. I never had a mesh on the scoob and that I/C was just as exposed. It never got damaged.

The only part I'm in agreement on is the panel gaps and the lower lights.

:)
 
Stickers are still very much in place ;)

I'll try to get some better pics over the weekend.
 
I like the fixed headlights, they look purposeful. The only thing I never liked about your car was the decals but I can't see if those are still on it.

edit looks like you answered the decal question 1 min before I posted :(
 
why didn't you re-use the old bumper? That looked sweet.

edit: I thought you were getting this front bumper? Sorry don't get chance to come on much.

The old bumper was beyond repair. It didn't provide enough airflow for my IC either. As for that vortex kit, it worked out to expensive to import in the end as there are no UK suppliers.
 
Gunna go against the majority, it looks awful. Sorry :( - Used to look much better.

The issues are that firstly, it doesnt line up with the rest of the bodywork properly and secondly, it cannot have been designed to go with the replacement headlights you have, the lines are all wrong.

Sorry to be a party pooper.
