Shaved, Saggy backside.

[Byff]

When I bought my Cerbera, I wasn't really sure about the sagaris style lights and the shaved arse. I sat for a good while just looking at it in the sunlight, the colours glitering from the spectraflair black and concluded that - yes! I liked it.

The wheels were all wrong and the interior could've been a lighter shade (or black) but nothing that can't be fixed later.

The wheels have now been sorted, anthracite spiders, so it's been cleaned and I'm prepared to let people judge my arse for the first time.

Doesn't look as bad as I thought it would.
Still not tempted though.

Congrats - brave decision

If I had your balls I would have gone for a more 'Aero' profile

oh, and a pair of these...

I quite like it, very subtle and had to look twice to see what was different.

I am good with the bumper... not so with the lights. too angular instead of curves. Reminds me a bit of Pacman!

What are the front indicators?

[spitfire4v8]

I remember chris gregory did the same on his cerbera back bumper .. is it the same car ?

This one?

[Byff]

It is Chris Gregory's old car and the photo above is when I first bought it.

[robsco]

Not keen on the lights, but the smoothed bumper is a grower. Chris is a good bloke; his guys do the paintwork on the cars at our dealership, and he was very gracious in donating me his old decat pipes for my first Cerbera, without prompt. For that, I took the car to him to repaint the front end - he did a superb job.

Time for the originality police to step in......
Don't like the lights especially the indicators the chrome is all wrong
Bumper makes it look stubby
BUT its your car and it looks well done so enjoy oh please say it hasn't got an LS engine under the hood

It's got one of those Jaguar diesel things in there....

Only kidding, a nice 4.2 AJP.

When I first bought the car, the arse was of interest to a few people who wanted more photo's. I've only just got the outside of the car to a standard that I'm happy with so thought I'd provide more detail for anyone interested.

Ditto, I like the front indicators, did you do these?

[Supateg]

I like the bumper, looks good.
The rear lights are ok, more T car styling.
The front indicators are good, I'm planning hella 60mm ones in the future to increase presence through brighter lights, I was thinking of the chrome ring too, but I think it looks out of place,a lighter coloured car may work better; a bit too much for me. Strange how the hella main lights have a chrome ring and are recessed looks ok.
We'll done anyway, look forward to seeing it in the flesh; my opinion might be swayed then!

[Mad Mark]

So glad you posted your pics up. :-)
I have been thinking of having mine chopped off (oohh errr!) for some time now. I saw a Chim that had its rear bumper smoothed and i really liked it but never took any pics.
I started this thread over a year ago hoping some pics would emerge

Mines going in for a full respray hopefully in the not too distant future I am even more tempted to have this done. It is the only thing i would change to the styling.

[Jhonno]

I think the only reason his "pulls off" the rear lip removal is the rear ligts. It doesn't suit a Cerb as a rule.

[FarmyardPants]

I think objectively the rear bumper looks good. Clean lines to match the rest. If it had been like that from the factory, imagine the reaction an "added lip" mod would have received on here.

[Jhonno]

Like I say.. With those rear lights the lip removal kind of works. With OEM round lights it does not. That is a back to back preference, nothing to do with OEM or not.

Totally agree.
It looks like the sill line runs from the side of the car right round the rear. The lip adds clutter to what is a very smooth styled car.

I actually think that's a very nice job, normally i am part of the original police but that is very tasteful. Top marks for bravery and pulling it off!
