Default Boredom + Photoshop + Z4 = ???

I was dorking around in photoshop when the thought hit me... I decided that rather than continue to bitch about Chris Bangle's poor designs- I'd fix one of them to show you what I'm talking about.

So I picked the Z4, the one I hate the least.

Here's stock front:

the side looks good, I think the tails looked fine before, and the front isn't really a big difference.

To shift focus back to the design.... plus, every car I've driven has the tow hooks down at the frame rails, close to the lower suspension arm mounting points. It's a much cleaner look than what BMW chose to do IMO.
