Never seen this front end. I like it for the clean lines and front end. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Kinda cool. Personally I like a more busy front (euro QV). But it appears the owner executed very well his/her vision and I respect that individuality. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Very clean! This was probably the initial concept existing in Pininfarina's mind before bumpers, etc needed to be accommodated in real life.
Real world usefulness, equals zero....the front clip of a 308 is a monolithic part, insanely expensive (if any survive), and there's the question of occupant safety, in a crash... Probably also illegal, if you drilled down into US DOT standards.....but do what makes you happy!!!!
I can dig the mesh grille on the black one. They all look pretty futuristic, though. Just plays against my mental picture of the 308.
So the bill is higher to replace even more damaged parts? Its been shown time and again that crash bumpers have increased the overall costs of repairs. 3mph, no damage....if you are lucky and bumpers are the same height.. 5mph, lots of damage.
Not a fan at all! - It's far too much grille for Pininfarina's perfect, elegant design! I despise the US spec bumpers on the 308 GTB/GTS for the exact same reason - They're just too big for such an elegant design. The Euro-spec bumpers may not be as practical as the US-spec bumpers, but sometimes it's better to look good than be practical! At least Pininfarina made a better job of integrating the federal spec bumpers on the 328!
Too big of an open mouth... The 308 is perfect with a Euro bumper and Euro turn repeaters. Anything else is just "too many notes."
It looks kind of naked . To much grill going on where even a small set of bumpers would set it off. I recall when I had my 63 Corvette the fad was to remove the front bumpers but even though it had directional s that stuck out it still didn't look that good.
Did this to mine, but have all original parts to bolt back on. p.s. Anybody going to Pasadena Concorso next weekend? (I'm on the waitlist..) Image Unavailable, Please Login
