smoothing...good or bad?
« on: 17 November 2007, 16:42 »
Alright everyone,

We see a lot of Euro look smoothed cars and TBH they split opinion, so which of the ones below looks better. The first is the original (obviously) and the second is a photoshopped smoothed version.

Oh and would you go for it yourselves or not?

I prefer the un-smoothed look, seems more aggressive.

Mind you I opened my car door the other week straight into the wing mirror of the wife's Merc. :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

The wing mirror was ok :smiley: But my door was dinted just above the drivers door handle :cry: :cry: Should have concentrated on what I was doing. Got dent devils out to it. Great repair can't see it at all and I'm fussy.
