Like may of us Crossfire owners I was slightly disappointed that the production car was not as quite as dramatic as the original concept car DC produced. For some time I have been trying to analyze where the differences are and if anything can be done to reintroduce some of the drama. So I have started to look at this more seriously following some discussions with other members.

Obviously things like the curved windscreen are out but the front and rear looks like something can be done. So I have a notional plan for a project later in the year to look at producing a replacement GRP rear end.

Here's a mock up of what I have in mind...

 

whoa... you just opened up a new realm... your good!

 

IMO I think the rear is fine. It's certainly not like the concept in style but by all means not ugly or plain.

However, the front of the car blows. Crossfires look great from the side and rear and look extremely boring from the front.

I suppose the front is the hardest to keep like the concept, an example would be the RX-EVOLV concept (now the RX-8) THAT was a great looking car as well.
