The headlights on the new XK just look wrong. Here's my take on it.

i think the XK is actually quite ugly, and yours does improve it just i think you kinda missing th indicator lights.

How about :

I think the first one looks like an FTO. I think the headlights on teh XK aren't the most beautiful in the world, but I don't think you've done much to improve them, either. Keep trying and maybe you'll get it right.

I don't really like the original headlights, but I think I'll grow on them. I think the little pointy thing off to the side offsets its elegance. I don't know how to fix it because I can't chop, but in your chops I don't think you have solved the original problems.

i like the original headlights on the new xk, i think your first design actually looks like the older one, and i cant stand the look of that car

i think the car sucks

and you made it look worse

[Cotterik]

the perfect headlights would be the AMV8 headlights. but give it that, and you've got an AMV8...

the car is a major improvement over the old MY05 XK and i agree that he made it look worse(although the MY06 is better looking than the old XK, but the D-Type, XJR9LM, and XJ13 experimental are still my favorite jags)

Hehe, that'll be why 'm not a car stylist

When I did the first one it seemed like a good idea at the time, but when it was done I realised that it has more than a hint of Lexus SC 430 about. Noooooooooo........!

There must be someway to remove the Hyundai Coupe likeness from the front end. I don't think people will really have a problem with the XK resembling the more expensive Astons as it is a GT styled by Ian Callum. But resembling a £15,000 Hyundai??!!?

By all means, anyone who fancies photoshopping the XK, have a go in this thread. I'd really like to see what ideas other people have on inproviing it.

what if you leave it as it is because the company has worked a lot on the headlights of the car so don't be foolish and pretend smarter than them.
