the same reason why RR, p-cars, audis don't have Angel eyes. It just doesn't look good on their rides.

If it was the same length as the vent it would have looked better

Too Audi for me. We have the angel eyes already, Audi have their crappy LEDs because they can't have angel eyes.

There is a design rule - When you emphasize everything, you emphasize nothing - I think that applies here.

The quandary here is that BMW put LEDs in headlights first - those amber ones used as eyebrows on the 5 series, it is just that Audi took it to a whole new gaudy level.

Until recently they were only seen on pile of sh*t Citroen Saxo 1 litres tarted up by some chav git in a tracksuit and now Audi think they are cool. Muppets. What next, manufaturers adding those daft arsed blue LEDs on the squirty jets or under car lighting? Urgh.

Even if your location didn't say you were from York, your post could only come from the British Isles

Everything on the care is curved, why choose a straight rectangular strip of LEDs?

MrHarris · 05-29-2008, 06:58 AM

decent wheels, the LED's look really tacky to me.

coolusername · 05-29-2008, 04:10 PM

ugly

I don't know. It would look cool at night... and only at night.

Very good point! I'd rather have the angel eyes.

RT8_M3 · 05-30-2008, 01:44 AM

Definitely not feeling it. I think Hamann should leave those types of LEDs to the Audi's, plus that front bumper looks weak...makes the car "seem" more like a 335 . Like most you guys said...FAIL!

Agree and the location is too close to the center of the car - they should be centered below the openings. They are just too square (rectangular) and don't match the flow of the rest of the front.

ianbiz · 06-02-2008, 11:01 AM

its not an audi or p-car. so stop.

M-bitious · 06-02-2008, 11:12 AM

When you ignore the led's, it's quite a clean bumper.

Romo · 06-02-2008, 02:38 PM

Leds are like a Christmas tree...................................tell you what; I don`t like Christmas
