You are welcome. The McLaren as a brand is the one I see with a different approach to body language. They have very much stayed in the style of the original F1.

I like it from the side 90 degree dead on perpendicular. but the 3/4 from from the front... you can see the rear side scoop vent opening is angled outward at the front. Could just be the viewing angle. Can't wait to see it in it's final form with factory paint.
