Photoshoped 360 Front End

Firsty thanks to Nikdev for the image.

Got bored and couldnt work out how i wanted to style a 360...so I decided to put some work skills to use. I mainly did this to see what they'd look like without orange indicators, but it spiraled into a full on euro styling session.

Hope you like it.

haha, Nice! But keep the blinkers, just make them clear, and it would be very nice :D

hehe, I'm torn between getting clears and doing that now...and from the looks of it the clears will need fabricated too.

I'd probably go with clears as well. That looks good, but I dunno. Anyway, to make it road legal you'd need some indicators somewhere, so why not there ;)

You could fabricate them, or you could buy a set from radicast.se

Other than that, looks good. I particularly like the way it makes the background blur :P

Yeah, was thinking that...just the same sort of thing as the E30's and the VW's.

Front bumper looks very heavy, maybe integrated bumpers would be worth of try?

V70 shortened?

Of course it is not easy, front wings need to be modded, bumper itself need to be modded and support + attachment needs planning :P

Some food for thought:
