These have all been resized using the same scaling (1mm = 0.16pixel)

So it looks like about an inch of extra front overhang and a few extra inches of rear overhang.
If anyone has hi-ress line drawings for the mk2 please let me know. I had to resize the ones that Stefan posted yesterday and they got a bit pixelated.

no change in headroom either.
i know the front of the car is long due to safety...i'm assuming the back of the car is as well (extra bumpers behind the skin).....but the width i'm not sure of anymore....and what shocks me is that NONE of this size increase has made the interior any more comfortable...just smaller. strange.

The extra inch at the front is really negligible. I think it's more the shape of the front bumper (mostly vertical) vs the mk1 which protrudes out in the middle. They want a flush surface to impact the lower legs and lower torso to spread the impact out. The mk1 front end just breaks people in half
