Check out the grille poking out of the red nose on the right. Testing out different designs it looks like, maybe some kind of billet style grille for a future model?

This is great stuff thank you for sharing.

I want to see some of those early sketches blown up, I bet a few elements will make it to the refresh.





Especially that white drawing!! that looks great from here.

FYI: Shows the base no fog set-up along with the painted (less pronounced) rear diffuser on the vert side.
