Topic starter  

but I did some edits just to see what they look like. I'll share a few of them with you.

As found:

20xx Jaguar XKE What If rendering   PS (1)

 With some edits to the background and the photo clarity:

20xx Jaguar XKE What If rendering   PS (2)

With some dechroming and the addition of a rear bumper:

20xx Jaguar XKE What If rendering   PS (3)

Radiused the rear wheel opening and altered the rear quarter shape:

20xx Jaguar XKE What If rendering   PS (4)

Removed the bumpers completely:

20xx Jaguar XKE What If rendering   PS (6)

If one or more of the edits strikes your fancy, kindly share why that is so.

Happy New Year

Enjoy!

I prefer the look of pic #3; with rear bumper added it seems more balanced.  This is from the side view only of course; other perspectives may change my mind.

They all look great, yet I agree with John and Jack that #3 is probably a better bet as a production car.
