Must admit, I'm not keen on indicators behind the grill, they're too near the middle of the car. I know it's legal, but I really dislike indicators inside of headlights - it looks cross eyed, and it's confusing as to which way it's indicating. :?

I think I'm a careful pedestrian, but I've accidentally stepped out in front of a few cars because of that, assuming they were turning the other way and had to jump back quick! :P

You see an indicator on the right of a headlight and assume it's turning right, or on the left and it's turning left... Very dangerous and misleading at busy junctions, particularity if vision is obscured and you can only see the one headlight and indicator... :(

Hmm not overly sure on the bumper, it's a bit rounded for the rest of the car

I tried a photoshop with RR lights, but it turned into the ugliest 300 ever :P

Anyway, I ended up messing around and came up with this...

MJ, loose chrome strip from bumper and paint top of bumper to body colour, could be bit refined look? Or then not, my eye is sometimes bit odd :lol:

Personaly I don't like the range rover front but it would not be good if we were all the same.

The idea of removing the indicators and making the front end like a chevette. I would put the indicators in the headlamp and repeater in the wing frenched in.
