Done.

You know why they look the same from the front? Cause it was designed by the same guy.

I've always thought it looked more similar to a Jaguar XK(/R)

After a bit of googling;

The front bar for the FTO was designed by Aston Martin, (or borrowed from the same style). The exterior of the FTO was designed by a guy named Eiichi Okuma.

It's not mine, it's SMATs from the UK FTOOC. I was just having a nose around your forum and found this post and thought you might be interested to see his front bar.

I'm not sure about it myself, but He's happy as a pig in sh1t!
