Looking at it again, it probably is a bit of a grower. I agree with the production car look and think that the mesh was a bit of a faff. A choice of
2 nose cones gives something for everyone.
The comments about number plates are good. Road cars have to have them. It isn't a bad idea to have somewhere proper to put them.

removing the bars doesnit help. Perhaps some black design film on them would be better. It would make them less visible but still present.

I like it but i have to say i prefer the old one. MNR's are the best looking imho.
It looks good with the 1 badge bar. I like the idea of black bars and coloured rest.

Where does the numberplate go?
If you fit a legal front plate you'll be covering half of it up anyway. I think it makes the front look like an old tractor but that's
just the image it conjures up in my mind.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I like it, though i can definately see how it might polarise opinion. (marmite, as Iain put it!)
out of interest (and planning ahead incase I wreck the current one somehow..  ), is it in any way interchangeable with the 'old'
one?
I can already see that i'd be left with 2 notches at the bottom of the sides as I have the nose that has a 'lip' that hooks under
the sides.

Just thought I'd add my interpretation too. I think a little less bulk would help. IMHO

Initially I thoght it was ugly but in about 5 minutes I start to like it more and more. It is difficult to change that 50 year old shape to make it
modern and not out of place. Initially I didn't like the scuttle bulges of the MNR's either, but now I do and I think that the new nose
complements the scuttle area nicely.
I am still undecided whether all bars should remain or Hammerhead's version. That looks very nice.
Where would you put a normal licence plate? Cover up the lower intakes? Anyone with photoshop skills?

yep the both types are interchangeable with the main body section
so to replace to new nose you need nose scuttle and bonnet

It really is a grower....
From those angles I reckon it looks the nutts.
Is it a taller bonnet by any chance Marc? Are the scuttle and bonnets directly interchangeable?
Ta,
Chris.

Just curious as to whether the colour is the same RAL code as my car Marc? As the colour space your camera takes piccies at seems slightly out of
kilta?
Did some fiddling matching it roughly to the same RAL as mine... Similar as in the flesh?
 
MNR new bodywork
Plus this thread has a load of piccies of the old car to highlight the two different bodyworks more accurately...
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=31504&page=1
I still think the old bodywork is slightly more slick. But then I would say that as I'm building one! 8D
Chris.

That Brands day was when I realised that I'd made the right choice of car for me...
Only a few months until I get to try mine out in anger! 
As you can tell I'm looking forward to it...
Chris.

Don't listen to 'em Marc, that thing is now looking stunning. Just what is needed to carve the niche into the already niche market and
give some immedaite product identity amoung the competitors.
Gets my thumbs up.

Will the market be flooded
with people selling their old bodywork off, any old style nosecones going spare
