I was thinking that Brian, but thought it might be a slight difference in perspective on the pics.
Also wondered if the headlamps differed, maybe slightly smaller on v8 (doubt it) but they do seem to differ to me. Liking plus 8 lamps better.
Seem to be in minority on looks though. Must be the boy racer in me not quite extinguished.
Still prefer a baseball cap to a flat cap, but getting there.
You know it makes sense!
