EU regulation threats have done more to change styling than anything else in the past few years. They are now styled to protect pedestrians in low speed crashes.

Unless Europe has a thing for cars rampaging down the sidewalks in the hopes of mowing people down, Grand Theft Auto-style, don't mod the car, mod the idiots that don't realize "moving car + you ------> moving car wins." That's the world today, don't bring the idiots up, drag everything else down.
