I brightened the first pic up....yep it's still bad

You can allways swap it for a S-line front bumper if you buy the car.
This car have the "S Grill" but with out the double chrome bars on it.
And TBH it look not good on this picture, IRL it's looking better.

What the bumper needs is a lift in the middle closing the gap between the grill and then adding the metal fin to bridge the two outer bits.

IMO this would add aggression to the nose and make it less flabby.

I still love it. With a decent set of wheels, it will be v.nice!

The front reminds me of a Touring car front splitter!

that might depend. there may be method to the madness of the increased openings. perhaps it's a turbo. and perhaps the s-line bumper won't allow enough cooling.

The worst right now is Alfa Romeo "Belezza non Basta" Beauty is not Enough. How ironic coming from them.

i agree. i'm not that familiar with alphas since i live in the states, but from what i know the only exception would be the competizione. it is ironic.

Also, I heard they are switching to RWD:

I agree. It would also fit with Audi's design language and remove the floating grille (ugly IMO). The lower part of the bumper would be less horizontal, at the moment it looks like a lip spoiler and not part of the bumper. It's hard to explain but its UGLY, I'll try make some revisions...

No Alfa Romeo is switching back to there roots and that is RWD.

True. The real life factor is very important. Of course my opinions are saying the car is ugly so far, but I will leave final judgement till I see it in the flesh. Official pics and real-life shots will also be helpful...

Here's a rough p/s. I just copied/pasted. The right side is TT-S and the left is TT S-line. The TT-S should have been more like that IMO. Still a lot of plastic, but much better IMO.

HKS786,

That is exactly what I was looking for.

[RXBG]

tell you what guys. would you forgive the nasty TT-S grille if it was a V6 TT with 320 hp?

The grille would been the last thing I would be thinking about if that was the case. In fact it could even come solely in pink and I would still want one. :blush:

no probs. I tend to find myself agreeing with you most of the time regarding styling. You have good taste

Yep. I'd get it in black to hide the grille, but apart from that I would still be pleased with it

[Iceman]

If the suppossed TT RS mule can run with the S-Line front bumper why not the TTS.
i don't care what engine or power output will be under the bonnet.
If i don't like the front i will change it.

Hans.
