I can't decide how to repair my cat d Tuscan mk1. What do you think looks best.
A few images to help with decisions




I particularly like the plasticman T440 front end because the air ducts start further outwards and there is no straight section beneath the curve of the small bonnet. I think this is becoming my favourite....

tbh just not the powers bodyshop front end, its just not to my taste. I can't really see much difference between the other 2, but either one looks good.

otherwise its the mk1 front end, with mk2 grill and winglets (which dont fit the mk1 BTW...you may have to do some tweaking!!)

My Mk1 S with Typhon/T440 grille. Just had it re-made in carbon-fiber by Raceproved. Looks awesome!

Whilst I think the pepperpot grill is only ok, I prefer it to the "nostril" style grills, so I voted for the standard MK1 grill.

What about the t440 with the mk2 winglets? I reckon that might look pretty good

The Mk 1 Tuscan S front has always done it for me. However, as time goes by, the Mk 2 front has grown quite a bit on me. Still can't beat the round smooth butt of the Mk1 (non-S) rear though biggrin

Mk1 S with Typhon/T440 grille, and Tuscan S rear spoiler would get my vote. lick

Got to be the MK1 front for me, remember my very 1st sighting of a Tuscan, heard it before I saw it, and it was that pepperpot grille sticking out a driveway, in black.

I've gone for a sort of mix up as i am not overly keen on any of the grilles tbh (sorry frown ) its a bit of an awkward area.

Mk1 front, standard pepperpot grille painted black, black s splitter and then removal of the little side lights like the green one.

Some of them literally look like an open mouth of an amphibian hehe (sorry). I will say thought that the mk2 front end looks significantly better in the flesh though.

I'll put some pics up once shes all done smile

Tuscan 2 rear end though is nice, didn;t go for it though as it would be about a grand in total inc the spoiler and just couldn't warrent spending that when the mk1 tuscan rear looks awesome anyway imo.

I much prefer the Mk1 front (and rear for that matter!). Hit the sweet spot from the off for me.

Each to their own of course smile

MK 2 with winglets for me but I do like the MK 1 lights with MK2 grill and winglets.

Anyone ever had the front end of their mk2 made so the carbon fibre covers up the mascara style black ringlets that are around the front lights? I'm really put off the mk2 for this reason but wondered how it'd look without the black areas if anyone had done it.
