    I don't like the narrow front track width, it looks like a lack of forethought and a "that will do" attitude. The front bumper would also look better if it was narrowed and tucked in closer with none of the mounting bolts showing, the stone chip finish on the dash also looks half hearted. I think it would have looked better smooth and high gloss.
