Which angle does you occy look better from?

Dor · 11-04-2008, 16:33

Was just making a brew from our second floor brew area and noticed my occy estate from rear quarter. Looks awesome from that angle, but a bit 'pancake' from the side at ground level.

Any thoughts on other good angles?

I don't like the side view or the front head on view so much.

It doesn't help that the front wheel arch gap is bigger than the rear.

I think the rear square on and rear three quarter is the best angle.

Rear of the VRS looks pretty mean, especially with the reflectors so low down. It gives a chunky menacing look!

Tom_vRS · 11-04-2008, 19:06

I agree, front on it looks a bit pants imho.

I love the view of the headlight and wing with the bonnet open - almost Veyronesque!!!

The back looks good

I think it's very sexy, maybe I need to get out more!

Yes you do.

HTH!

(PS I spend far too much time looking at my car, its really not healthy

)

FOZ1 · 11-04-2008, 19:30

I like to think it's from the rear

As that is where most people will see it from

Sorry, couldn't resist.

It's similar to asking - are you a leg or breast man

dstev2000 · 11-04-2008, 19:33

I wish mine looked like this minus eyebrows

Mine looks better in the garage with the door shut so i can,t see it,bloody old cack car

apd007 · 12-04-2008, 11:48

Definitely the drivers seat!

runboy · 12-04-2008, 21:35

I like the front view, head on. Being black magic paint, the grill, xenons and foglights show up lovely. Reminds me of those Audi adverts where the S4/S6 whatever it was would race head-on towards you.

djgritt · 13-04-2008, 01:09

From the rear quarter, as per my sig...

Or, as i noticed today whilst parked alongside a van, and all i could see was half the front wing, bonnet and then the light, grille, bumper and some wheel - looked ok then too

Or, it looks best in the dark, much less "Grandad"...

smstext · 13-04-2008, 08:37

i think mine looks great from a rear corner angle so all the curves in the black magic paint come to life.
