It looks spot on applied to Optare Deltas and ECW bodied Olympians, especially the former commuter coaches, a bit bizarre on Bristol VRs and LHs and pretty vile on most Leopard coaches with paint all over the grille!
North Western's deregulation livery divided opinion in much the same way.
In fairness you just have to look at the Arriva Interurban livery for a mess of a rebrand never mind NMS. Half the buses were/are just painted outright wrong and that's the ones which have been painted at all.
