If at least the outer vents started at the top edge of the inner vents I think it would be a better look and proportion for the design. Most importantly, it would shorten the overly long outer venting.

I did a quick photoshop so this vaguely resembles what it could look like:

I see what you're saying, and it looks good. Personally, I'd ditch the inner two vents. I'd leave the outer two like how you made them.

My one problem with this car is that it still looks like it could be done by a tuning company like RUFF or TechArt. That's not a bad thing, but I do wish this had a more OEM feel to it. The wheels - the main problem - just have a very aftermarket look. I think this car would benefit from a multispoke design, like a more aggressive version of the standard AMV8's, or from a mesh design like the one used in ALMS races (like the ones on the M3 GT2 in my sig). I'd also be interested in seeing a dark mesh insert for the grille, or maybe just ditch the vertical slats.

Pics of said wheels are attached.

I'd like to say I'll wait until I see it in person...but that's not very likely...

the vents are too much IMO, also the washer just block the beautiful headlamp but anyway, its still a gergous car

sorry,but hood is too agressive for my taste...and again, alloys are ugly.

again +1000 lol

Here's a quick chop with the wheels from the original V12 Concept that also featured on the N400 model. I would have much preferred these wheels. I also removed inner vents and made the grille darker.

ill take it in white thank you

[Deda]

much better with new wheels!

I'm sure if you could afford the car, you could install any wheels that you want. And I'd bet after driving one, the hood scoops would be pretty much the last thing on your mind.

wow....such a sexy ride...
