Default E-Typing your XK ...

I was behind a nice E-Type Coupe yesterday - man they are low in height - i think the early XK8's are the closest thing you can get - if one was so inclined - how do you think you could make it even closer?
Would ours look daft with those cute little chrome bumpers?
Anyone on here with the time and skill to mock one up with photoshop or something?

Interesting question?

It'd be a fun project.

I had 3 e-types and loved them. It was a long time ago and now I feel the XK8 is a much better car when I am not blinded by the nostalgia of my youth! The fun thing was to play with the Pouches and Alfas of the same era and leave them behind. Of course the 4 speed was wonderful until time to replace the clutch!

Interesting what they did with the centre console to get a flip up head unit in without hitting the gear stick!
I may try it in my xk8.
