I'm still not sure - I'll have to see it in the flesh, so to speak, before I make my mind up.

All 2CV joking aside:

I do like the shape but not sure about nose. Looks a little narrow on top for me, would have to see it in the flesh tbh

What is with the flared bits on the nose too?

Don't worry too much about my feelings, I won't be offended.

As for being narrow on top, it's the same width as the old nose cone, save for the extra width as the cheeks. It's a bit taller too, by maybe 5mm which gives more clearance for my air intakes. I'm sure the engine breaths a little easier at the top end.

looks really good, i'm collecting mine next saturday - in green.
I don't have the welding skills to build a chassis, so needed a kit rather than never finish a scratch build.
I thought a lot about which kit to build before ordering, decided in the end that the decission was between a 'traditional' 7 -(proper screen, car engine, steel wheels etc), or a modern take on the 7.
when i saw the new mnr bodywork this only improves on the updated look. the chassis has to be the best on the market, now the bodywork matches. the fit & shut lines are as good as production cars.
fit bike engine, alloys, bright paint finish,
DECISION MADE!!
