not very representative to have one with a plate and one without?GG. wrote: Wed Jun 10, 2020 5:59 pm Interestingly their improvement to the rear (on the right) is even better I think. Makes the standard design look badly resolved.

Re: FAO Mito
You can see the plate recess on both. I’m not sure having a plate on them will have a meaningful effect on the overall outcome?
I agree however that the aftermarket rear is a marked improvement on the standard version. Standard front with that revised rear would be my choice.

Re: FAO Mito
Doesn’t look like a big expanse of flat with a plate in it.

Re: FAO Mito
Also, which is right - grills or flat section on the recesses?
Re: FAO Mito
It fixes the main problem to my eye which is the swooping line passing under the plate on the original. It’s fussy and leaves too much of an expanse of plastic for the exhausts to be housed in as a result. It all looks a bit cheap.

Re: FAO Mito
The issue I’d have is the revenent one is a little flat. I like the way the black sections on the OEM one protrude further out when viewed from the side.
I’d take an OEM one with the new style front please.

Re: FAO Mito
I quite like the way the OEM one swoops as it works with the lines for the rear glass 

How about not having a sig at all?
