Default Stumbled upon this S-Type...

So:

And here are more: Real Jaguar from pixels - Hammer's VT Magazine blog

I must say I do not find the front very attractive...

A little too Rice-A-Roni for me

Not even sure what to say..."Pixel to paint" was awful, looks nothing alike except for the taller front grill...

Yeah, I don't understand why they pulled the grille more for forward than it was in the concept.

Though, the gills behind the front wheels aren't bad.

I like some aspects of the changes to the body, but overall it doesn't strike my fancy. Are they trying to make the nose grill in image #1 look like and alpha Romeo? I like the rear bumper in Image #2, but the bumper in Image #3 doesn't look that good. Overall I give it a 3 out of 5

It seems like a lot of owners play around with the front and rear bumper shapes, but I have yet to see a nicely done S-type with wider fender flares that blend well with the rest of the body. The Panzani at least flared the fenders, but blew the looks of the front end.

The premise was apparently, you draw up a design on the computer for I guess a contest and the company will make the mods...Image 1 and 2 are the digitial images while all the rest are the real car...In the digitials, the hood was left unmolested, they decided to make a new hood...

I like to see the original lines of the car preserved. As in the attached race-car image. The fenders are flared, but they blend into the bumper mods. Ditch the rear wing and this would look like a really nice S-type on the street.

I would like to see a rear bumper cover with a functional diffuser that would fit our S-types.
