It's all about the front wing. The stock bumper looks horrible. Try this little test sometime...take bumper (and grille?) off, take 10 paces back and squint. Suddenly, you magically have a 'mean' looking 300.

cheers

Foggy and myself were also commenting on the rear of a 300 looking rather mean and spectacularly different with the bumper removed. It all looks a bit vertical then, slightly like an estate, yet still in the 300 hatch style. Might be able to get a pic later!

300s do look mean with the rear bumper removed... with some smoothing and filling I think could look good without a rear bumper maybe?! Who knows....

Adapted S70R/V70R bumpers are the way forward. Maybe when (if?) nessy is back on the road...

cheers

There we go, managed to get a picture before it got dark. I think that could look quite good indeed, as Steve says, a bit of smoothing and filling...............

Hey Adam, I just noticed your grill is positioned a bit to high...
I bet you have the headlights like the one on the right?
I had those too and the grill ended up against the hood...
With the left ones the grill is lower and the gap between the bumper and the grill is closed...

Nope wrong again :D , that grill has two extra plastic clips that screw to the lights and the pins on the bottom of the grill are closer together!!! I didnt realise until it was too late and i had already smoothed the inner section of the grill!!! Will change them at some point i guess, just not right now!!!
