I see your point, but the standard WB front just looks a bit commercial (which it is, sort of). If the bumper had a bit more character like a rubber strip then I'd be happier. It's a bit like the UC Torana front...It's not that it looks bad, it just isn't as good looking as the earlier ones in my opinion.

I reckon I might try to build a new grille that gets rid of the filler strips between the grille and the headlghts and that might help too. Or a Statesman front if they weren't hard to get and dear as poison....

We'll see. I'm in no hurry and I take all advice on board before acting.
