Just a thought: the Attacker-style jet-Spitfire would make a nice display pair with the original Hawker P.1040 "jet Fury", i.e. a Seahawk with Fury wings.

How about a Spit with Meteor type wings, but with eliptical tips?
In my opinion, British, Canadian, or USAF markings make things look so much better...

You're closer to one of the twin engined Supermarine projects, certainly the Type 324 with buried Taurus engines and pusher props.  That converted to a pair of Wellands would be good.

And I have just realised that I have all the bits to do it...

And so................?  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

You could use a P-40 style chin intake.

That aircraft from Britmodeller makes me think of doing one like that for myself.

Bring them on!  BTW, don't think your "pretty boy" Seafires are immune from abuse either:

The "spit nose" image on OP would be good.  Remember the engine would likely be located amidships so you'd want to move the cockpit forward
That being said, I'd like to remind everybody in a manner reminiscent of the SNL bit on Julian Assange, that no matter how I die: It was murder (even if there was a suicide note or a video of me peacefully dying in my sleep); should I be framed for a criminal offense or disappear, you know to blame.
