Dont know how many of you have seen them, but these Pics just go to prove:

a) What a beautiful car this is

b) Velocity Red is by far the best colour :D

Wow that is one GORGEOUS color.

I got black because there are too many cops in the States, specially where I live... but I would have loved to get that color.

Ride height looks good on that car and I think the front plate actually improves the look of the car because it removes some of the 'bunny' look from the nose.

I have to admit that it was my first thought as well. The ride height does look better, especially on the second and last pictures.

The front plate does improve matters, and the whole car seems to look much more aggressive and purposefully then previous photos. Now if only I could explain why! :D

I have to agree the full length plate looks fine to me, and also the ride height seems perfectly acceptable too.

I think it may well be down to the quality of the photographer and angles of shot that the car looks more aggressive, but Im not complaining.

This is the European Spec car too, so Im hoping this is exactly what mine is going to look like :D :D

Here's a few more...

Wow! Absolutely stunning pictures. What a great colour . I can't wait to see a red one for real now.

Does this also confirm that we'll be getting the clear indicator lenses? (I've seen orange on some pics)

I think the orange ones are for the US market.

Wait until Oilman sees these, he'll wet himself. Best 'blood' red I have seen so far (with some orangie ones thrown in).

Where are the tit grey photos' though, considering they comprise of the majority of the order base. One can only see red so much !!!!:D

I think that because Velocity Red is the official launch colour, most if not all of the press shots seem to be Red.

There are apparently 20 cars coming to the UK in July for the UK press launch so maybe we will get some tit grey/ black etc in those. It would be nice to see some high quality shots of other colours as well.

The background is more impressive. I love country France. Especially if I can ride up the Cols with my push bike. Like Lance Armstrong
