The gradient on the far side also just ends really abruptly under the drivers window; just doesn't look right. Looks as if the bumper has been replaced at some point and they never bothered to repaint it.
I see where you're coming from about the red at the front. Perhaps if it had that gradient pattern underneath the windscreen, similar to Prince Bishops, it would give it a bit more emphasis. Speaking of the gradient: I've gathered from the "Black Cats" drawing file (which I use to produce my drawings) that the vehicles were painted in a slightly different colour than what they should have been – on the artwork, the base colour of the vehicles is the same pinkish tone as the gradient background, in which case that abrupt end under the driver's window wouldn't be so clear.
As much of a good brand I think it is, "Black Cats" probably won't be around for much longer, given that they've already taken it away from the 33/33A and 238 and obviously the StreetLites have been rumoured to go elsewhere in the near future.
