Would be intrigued to see what it looks like without those bulky cross beams and just the 2 front intakes.

its ok chris did think it might not be to everyones taste
old shape is still made,
this has quite a few advantages over the old namely greater area for bigger rad and oil cooler, also lower frontal area and also frontal surface
area
the new nose, bonnet and scuttle are even better quality especially the shut lines puts 99 % of production cars to shame
will take a pic to show the shut lines in a min
best regards

Blimey that is a change! 
Looks DonkeyVoort ish. I think the original nose cone was probably more traditional and henced look 'right'. Will both styles of nose cone
be available? Or would it be a change that is consistent for all VortX's?
Why the change by the way? Any aerodynamic or mechanical advantage?
Your continual development of this type of car must be applauded though. 
Take it easy,
Chris.
P.S. Next weekends looking like it maybe the first 'test' drive! Fingers crossed for no rain!

Well,I like it,gives the car a aggresive look,gives it that finished off look,better than a bit of wire mesh like most sevens

The wider rear of the nose cone covers the nuts and bolts well for SVA. My wife, a farmer's daughter, says the front reminds her of the front
of a tractor. It's the "chin" that does it.

the old shape nose is having a bit of tweaking done at the moment to include a similar slot style grill and badge area to save the wire mesh
treatment. or of course you can remove that area and just use mesh
we also have a new agent who we are currently building two demo cars for him to place in his showroom located just near wetherby alongside some rather
fine ferraris and lotus's

I think it looks awsome as marc said the lines look perfect and the nose gives it a really aggresive look

i think i like it - didn't for the first few seconds till i saw the other pics - not sure about the slot though, think i'd prefer it all
the same ovel with the grill bars in. Reminds me of an old ferrari (i think).

the main reason for the grill slats was to give it a bit of a production car look / integration, also saves time building too as you dont have to
worry about mesh, the grills have been made with the option of removing them without trace leaving just the central slat for the badge to be mounted

I like it, just not sure it would look as good with a number plate on, could you have made the middle section the same width as a plate?

The photos dont really do it justice. it does give a really agresive look it would look nice in black .
But I like it - I supose the new nose is a bit like marmite ( you love it or hate it no inbetween ).
Will assist those that need to run an oil cooler. and thos need BIG rad.

Quality of it looks great as usual, just not quite sure about the shape. Not particularly keen on it at the moment but maybe it will grow on me as I
see a few more.

Once you've got over the initial shock the front looks great.....you are ready for the 'ripping off Donkervoort' comments though I
hope? . Looking at the first photo though the front seems to makes the back look wrong/unfinished/agricultural somehow now (struggling to think of
the right adjective.....)
