need advice/ideas - bumper...

[ade]

Almost completed my new front bumper (see Ades Garage in styling for latest updates) however I'm having a debate about the look. I feel theres something missing from the sections either side of the lower vent as follows -

It looks too blank either side.

I was thinking of extending the area where the fogs are and "dressing it up" like so -

What do you think?

Jack did this one which has the fog surrounds being the same size as the lower vent but i think they would be too big -

Answers quick because whatever the option I'll be doing it tomorrow!

I think you'll find the large bits above the fog vents a nightmare for stone chips, have you thought about adding some fog inserts from a corsa c etc?

I'm not sure, I'm torn between the two... I did conciously think about the side vents being the same size as the bigger vent when I made mine as I didn't think they'd look right if they were smaller. Smaller looks more subtle, but doesn't really match with the main vent.

I do like the two slits in the front valance though.

One thing I am sure of though is they need to be a bit further out to the edge; i.e. the spar that runs down the side of the middle vent needs to be a bit wider.

Damnit, I need to photoshop my ideas but I'm at work and can't lol

No vents on the bottom part.
Smaller vents by the fogs like your second pic.

How it stands at the minute it looks quite a lot like that god awful calibra kit you can buy.

Whichever way you go about it, it definately needs fog light surrounds.

i think it needs to be more square "it's still a nova"

Kingdom bumper I definately DONT want!. I've actually gone with an idea between mine, Jacks and the Swift's vents.

I'll post pics later (see styling...)

Here's a quick pic of the outcome (see project thread for full wip)
