I don't mind it at all. Definitely not as horn as a VN, but still half decent.

If I won tattslotto and had money to burn I wouldn't hesitate to do it myself. And after I burnt it I would put it through a car crusher, then a shredder.
I would rather douse my eyes in acid than have to look at that abortion of a thing.

I've taken the liberty of marking everything wrong with the VN.

Things wrong = Red circles
Illegally parking in front of a hydrant = Green

I met the creator of this thing over the weekend, nice enough old bloke well into his 70's. However I think his age has affected his eyesight and he's gone senile. His current project is a wb Holden ute which is also going to have a 300c grille

That was a pretty awesome picture of a really clean, nice example of a VN and you wrecked it by placing circles all over it :(
