    I'd say, lower the bonnet line a bit, in turn lowering the grille, that'll help the headlights angle forward making it look angy

    is this getting tinted windows?
    its 50% a question 50% an assumption because it is probably a luxury car, and name one luxury car without tinted windows as standard or option

    I wouldn't do that, only because the current grille perfectly continues the shoulder line of the car.

    I heavily agree with the DRL bit. I think it should be skinnier, and on lower trims, the whole thing could even be chromed out.

    "poor snip & sketch skills"? i thought that was a pic straight outta beam!
    On topic: i do agree that would look good for lower trim
    and for bottom trim (lowest trim that exsists and a reference to bottom gear) maybe make the lights look like they are halogen

    Thank you so much, that's so kind of you! :oops:

    And yean, i think that's a good idea, and id also say it needs some fog lights integrated into the side vents, which could be Led on the high trim and halogen on the base model, with the vents replaced with fake plastic covers.

    Yeah and then you can choose
    Fog light filler (black)
    Fog light filler (Grill color)
    Fog light (halogen)
    Fog light (led)
    50mm automatic integrated rifle
    altough that might be alot of work for finn. So much options for a single slot

    Yeah, that would work as well. I still think the DRL's should be slimmed down just a tad bit to keep in line with the horizontally focused fascia design with the horizontal grille bars and whatnot.

    Oh I completely agree, i just didn't have the ability to shrink them down on my laptop, at least, not easily. Personally i would slim them down a ton and then redesign them to have a more intricate pattern that meshes better with the headlight.

    imo not slimmed down makes the front look a bit fat

    Speaking of base versions and lighting types, I'd suggest adding in some simpler-looking halogen headlights for the base model as a realistic little detail. Far from a priority, but fitting in reference to the car it takes some of its traits from.

    I also think that if it's that big, it shouldn't look like one big uniform light but multiple leds.

    Guys, just at a glance I can see you’re talking about the front DRL. This is alright as i like discussions about the designs of things, but the intensity of it isn’t gonna be nearly as much. It’s gonna be broken up like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, so it’s not gonna end up quite as ‘blinding’.

    I see what you’re on about here. I’ll see what I can do.
    --- Post updated ---
    About the expense of producing such a huge module of light;
    1. It’s broken up into three sections. One in the centre, and one on each headlight. This will become more obvious when the car gets textured and modelled panel gaps.
    2. This car’s gonna reach heights of £135,000, so it’s not cheap. Procyon can afford to splash out on a massive statement of light on the front if the car’s gonna possibly sell for that much.
    3. The DRL isn’t gonna change depending on trim level, as it’s almost a staple design feature.

    Thanks for the suggestions guys, I’ll have a look into doing some of them.

    Nah that's too far. This is a luxo-barge SUV that should start around $80k. Halogen headlights are barely acceptable for any new car sold today, let alone a luxury SUV like this one.

    …rather than this.
