lesser attractive :shock: you must be mad :o the diesel front is far more attractive than the boring flat front of the petrols :evil: nasty unreliable things always breaking down and using tons of petrol for little mileage :x

I really like the flat front, and wouldn't go bull nose if I had petrol.

lesser attractive Shocked you must be mad Surprised the diesel front is far more attractive than the boring flat front of the petrols Evil or Very Mad nasty unreliable things always breaking down and using tons of petrol for little mileage Mad


I have to agree wilth transitgeoff here, the bullnose gives a much meaner looking profile especially when viewed from the side :twisted:
The flat grill is just all together too friendly looking for my tastes :lol:

If it aint broke don't fix it

Don't you think that the Mk1 diesel profile is simular to the Mk2? You can see the family resemblance....................
