I’m glad they went with the end result, and not the inset-grille lights as they looked a bit too Maxi.
Looks like the Jag has just swallowed a Mini Clubman whole with the front left poking out!
Looks a bit like contemporary 1970s Aston Martins (Vantage, DBS, etc.)
I like the third one down actually, not sure why though.
Number 4 looks like they just slapped on the front end of an Allegro and then decided it was pub-o-clock.
