Well it let me post one pic and back to duplicate post issues with different pictures and now more token issues, social media is so much easier to post on I wonder why forums are so difficult

Alex....great concept....take Chevrolet's Euro theme to it's logical extreme. They should have gone this far back in the day!

One constructive comment from an ex-GM body designer (me) .....NEVER use a straight line nor flat surface on an auto body, they always look negative (hollow).
Case in point is your turn signal housings....they need to be curved across the front face, preferably in both directions. Imagine taking a file and drawing it across the front face while rotating your wrists.....mmmm nice flowing reflections (called highlights).
Also the mesh needs the same treatment, by making a simple press tool from bondo to form the mesh forward from the rear ( gentle pillow shape ).
Use a timber or steel outer frame the same shape as the surround to maintain the mesh flatness where it goes behind the surround.
A little research you will find OEMs NEVER have a flat surface anywhere.
Great project.....more power to you.
Jim.

Fantastic work, Alex! Love the Euro look. It clean and flows very well.

I think I agree with Andrew on the rims. Maybe not a true gold, but I think the silver doesn't contrast the white enough. Just a thought.

Keep up the great work
