New Front. Redesign - opinions?

[Mr.Snood]

Since my front is broken and i have to repair it,
i am thinking about a new design, too.

I made a first sketch in photoshop:




I didn't change that much:

I straightened the bonnet,
softened the edges,
added larger intakes at the bottom,
and changed the lights.

It looks much better in my opinion,
and by moving the lights the tyres should not scratch the head lights anymore.


I got a first offer regarding the cost of building a new mould/hood.
Now i try to figure which heads lamps i can use and the cost of that...
I'd like everything to be LED. Bad?

First thing found so far is "Nolden".
High/Low beam doesn't seem to be a problem.
I just need to watch the housing depths?

Nolden has the "NCC Transformer Pro" LED DRL (9 LED's), too.
Opinions? Suggestions?
Concerns regarding IVA?

EDIT Oct 2017:
Took quite some time, but here's the result:







daylight driving lights:


daylight driving lights + low beam:



low beam + daylights in action:

It's hard to tell from the picture, but the Nolden LED lights are a huge improvement.

Interior changed too:

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?

See my Edit in the initial post please:

Yes, we modified the original hood.
When we finished the changes we created a mould from that,
and made a new carbon hood to save some weight...
