New Front. Redesign - opinions?
Discussion

I wonder how softening the lines & the larger vents have on the overall aerodynamics.
I also wonder the same. The car design I would think is crucial to it's overall performance (on the street & track days that is) Full-on racing is out of my league & beyond, but if we look at the "track records" why redesign it?
I understand the want to update it and the front could use it, but I wouldn't want to alter it for the sake of looks only. Would the larger open front also affect strength?

Now i try to figure which heads lamps i can use and the cost of that...
Opinions? Suggestions?
Concerns regarding IVA?
Nice design!Opinions? Suggestions?
Concerns regarding IVA?
But keep in mind the 500 mm minimum headlamp height.
Some 2 months back there was a discussion on lamps (Nolden/Hella):

Wrt alternative front design: what do you think of Jon Olsson's R1k?

That is FUGLY
Well - as Confucius said: "De gustibus non est disputandum" - or was it Nietzsche? That is FUGLY
Anyway: how about this...

Might be a stupid question, but trying to figure which headlights i can use.
Want to use LED headlights and am looking at the Nolden catalogue right now:
http://www.noldengmbh.de/docs/Nolden_Programm_2014...
First of all: What do i need?
Low + High beam?
Fog lights and position isn't necessary for IVA (TÜV)?
Hence my current choice would be:
70mm high beam (13W) (page 43 at nolden)
90mm series 900, low beam (25W) (page 34)
Are these powerful enough and is that all i need (apart from indicators)?
E.g. the 90mm Bi-LED headlights (page 33) have 50W high beam and 40W low beam. Looks much more powerful, or am i wrong?

I love this type of project - well done for giving it a go
I agree with the masses - angular doesnt work on the swoopy body, unless you're going Ford "Hard edge design" which has curves cut off by a slash.
Pug 206 Morette worked well mounted upside down for the Ascari - try something similar? Have you thought of using something eye-shaped like a puma or Cougar headlamp. The Cougar could be rotated slightly to make it more like a TVR Speed12.
Watching with great interest - keep up the good work
(Don't us as Puma light - they are worse than candles in jam jars)
