All that talk of fixing the regs to get rid of these ugly nose cones, what happened?

Who said that? The reg fixing was never about those noses.

The Force India could be improved by painting the supports black and making something of a spear shape heading into the nose area.

Seems obvious to me why don't they do that?

The force India nose looks fine to me, but painting the supports in black could be tried though.

The Pink version is Ok, with the launch livery it was hideous imo.

I think it is the other way round for me. Launch livery was good IMO.
