I think you’re right, and it could be a limitation due to the thickness of the aluminium sheet they used, unable to bend any tighter without cracking or fracturing.

I think the absence of seams on the front wings makes it all look rather different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Can't find a picture now, but I'm sure the standard radius of the wings doesn't quite match the bonnet anyway? EDIT: actually, maybe I'm thinking of tube winged cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not larger. It is positioned wrong. The wings are too short. Edited September 23, 2020 by Red90 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
