What about the other way up so you lose the 'smilie' face and get a more 'aggressive' look.Club N.E.R.D.s

looks like a grille that's a bit too small to fit in the gap it was designed for so has had the edges filled out.
Similar look most commonly seen on Vauxhall Nova's when the scrote has taken a grille of the Corsa VXR he TWOC'ed last week. Pictures of the 'cool' modifications are often posted on barry boys website.....
To summarise; I don't think it looks 'natural' and I don't like it

Sorry, last post reads back really bad
Was trying to be constructive but just sound like I'm taking the
To try and add constructiveness to my original comments; The new grill has a curvature to it's form that is out of keeping with the original design of the D3. You've lost the 'pillars' of the original grill that give a natural flow into similar form on the bumpers. Two mismatched design IMO
However, if you like it.......

Thank goodness for that, I thought it was the new 'D3.5 chav ecosse' being launched
Why don't you buy a Range Rover if this is what you're after?
Personally, I like my Discovery because it is as good as a Range Rover, and does not look like one, i.e. a car mostly reserved for footballers. The older I get, the better I was.

I think you are confusing a FFRR for that prissy wannabe thing called a RRS.............. The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom
