The designer puts a lot of hard work into the design and the bumper is then manufactured with great care, and serves it's purpose ...
..... but it could have looked so much better.
Look at the example below.
(I took it off an overseas forum and I think it is a great bumper, which could have looked even better)
When designing such an accessory, try to pick up primary lines and radii of the vehicle itself.
I drew in a few lines on the photographs to illustrate the point.
Design your new bumper taking these lines into account, by having features on the bumper comply with one of these requirements:
- the new line is an extension of the existing line
- the new line is parallel to an existing line
- curves are of similar radii
As it is, it looks like a bumper built for some other SUV and tacked onto the Pajero.
PS
Look at vehicle body design as well.
When the above rules are followed, the vehicle just looks good.
When they are not followed, something looks 'wrong'.
eg do tail lights and body panels follow the same shape, slope and radii, or do they look as if they were designed by two independent design teams?
