Simple really.
I've been messing around with the front of my car, and although its not finished, I would find your opinions valuable, and most entertaining.

Yeah like the new look, the only thing I would do is put a radius on the lower outer edges following the line of the spot lights, this may help on the slight bottom heavy feel around the spots.
Good work as usual, perhaps a turbo and FO big intercooler 8) :twisted: :lol:

I've not decided on whether the lower spots will stay or go, as yet. :?
At the moment I think that area is going to be reworked, but tomorrow, who knows :lol: :lol:

At first I thought that they were for brake ducting.
I get the feeling of mean, nasty, aggressive, powerful when I look at this. I mean that in a positive way.

If the area is reworked then there may well be some smaller ducts in there, along with some smaller spots.

Hope you don't take this the wrong way, but compared to before, it looks a lot better... I thought the front end looked a bit too, well, like another ugly clubman front, but with the addition of a plain front 'jimmy hill' chin.
This does look a lot better...

"Jimmy hill chin" its been described a few ways, but never like that :lol:
I was never 100% happy with the lower front end, hence the decision to change. That and I wanted my twin headlights back :twisted:
i wouldnt put the front soo low..i dont think it lloks great at that height..but its nice and maby not so sqaure...but its your car, you go for it if you like it

Hmmm,
Twin lights good - not fond of the lower spots.
Overall, it's a nice looker and a bit different from a standard Clubby.
Hmm, spots don't really work that well low down, as you loose 1/2 the beam in the tarmac - unless you have them set to spot enemy bombers ;-)
So that does imply big irritating chavlights, erm I mean fog lights !
Actually I think the overall look is good, and the numberplate shouldn't look out of place.
Fancy editing the top post with a 'before' shot for comparison ?
Looks better than mine anyway ;-)

Before shot added.
The spots were there purely because I wanted extra lights, having lost my extra headlights through lack of space. Putting them where I did, was really just to break up the big expanse of red below the bumper. They were wired up to only come on with main beam, they are not fogs :wink: , they did actually make a difference even that low down. They will not be staying...I've decided....I think :lol:
