Just wanna put my 2 pence in, i relocated the battery in the boot (dry deep cycle) and put a BMC CDA and the inlet pipe was put in the place of the fog light, which never worked anyway. So covering the grill if u got a decent induction kit should be ok, i might try it, it look phat. Shamir

the induction kit isn't going to make any difference to the cooling of the radiator, or the intake charge on the turbo mate, because the air is heated up by the turbo, and the intercooler cools it down.
Induction kit just gets a bit more air in.

think the yellow one looks too busy
clean simple lines arethe best way to go.
following on from the 440 sideskirts issue.....
440 front bumpers do fit, with a minimal amount of fuss (bit of work on the side monts)
they look, in my opinion, pretty cool, but i got one thats almost flat, not sloped back at all, like the 480 ones.
will post some pics one day, when its all done

I'm not keen on either of those (maybe if the single one was body colour)
the double looks very BMW

I'm sorry if I offended you I know some artists can be a bit

when their work is criticised

I think you did a great job on a tricky
subject (I really could not have done better)

hope that made you feel better

if you look at the 480 in reds pic.

I think this would look better (if possible) with the grill holes as little triangles, one pointing up, next pointing down etc imho

also, i bet the central clusters of lights (long range lights?) are a bitch to swap...if you look carefully, the nose cone has been altered to make a more aggressive look....above the lights, they slope a little more than normal.doesnt look like the lights have been altered, just the nose cone to come over them

over all though, like it very much.....suppose the hausser kit makes a difference too though

hi again,

iÂ´m glad you like my car

@robkendall
the lights hasnÂ´t to be altered because its all photoshop

, the car is also lowered (look at the roof of the van in background)

i tried to make your triangle idea, but i donÂ´t like it much, here it is:

h ired,

thanks for that.

hmm....do still like the triangles better.
maybe a wee bit smaller and more?
been thinking about the nose cone job...you could do it, but would have to bring the bodywork forwards slightly to go over the light clusters, like i said....like it v much though....more aggresive!

Hi,

nice job done with photoshop @ red

and good inspiration of how to change the view of the 480 a little bit,
I like the first one more than the triangle thing ... the first one gives the 480 a kind of evil look ... and seems not to be that different to make

greets
