The shape of the lights doesn't quite work for me, a bit too Celica-like, but it certainly looks well done, so well done :)

I had a temporary face-lift on my 5th gen for a time. I certainly liked the look, but it was very Marmite amongst others. Remember some people just don't like change ;) So well done for trying something different :D

Focus and celica are two common things I've heard and I agree but as pointed out, it certainly won't be too everyone's taste. In all honesty I'm not as taken with it as I thought I would be instantly. It is going to take a slightly more angular bumper to really finish it off. We will see!

One thing I do need to do is rename the car marmite though :lol:

That's a well brave move tackling the bonnet like that. I have to say, it looks very well done! Top marks.

I went for bit more shape than what you've done. It would have been my ideal look, but it was just a trial with vinyl, so didn't look brill up close...

I'm never keen on those type of headlight mods but each to their own. :)

That is pretty different, not seen anything like it before personally, I like that! I'm tempted to get a couple of spare bonnets so I can have a go at different styles!
