I dont think its the fitment thats bad, but just the lines arent flowing very well... look right underneath the headlights. some lines end and begin in the middle of nowhere. its awkward

Looks alright.. save the nose looks like it needs to be rebroken a few times and reset. You have the smooth lines of the 8 then it turns into hardlines on the nose just doesnt well "flow" if you will. If they smoothed out those hardlines it would be better.

Just a bit too aggressive. Somewhere between Veilside and Abflug (?) as far as looks, but thats not saying much.
