Looks to me like a new nose - no holes and a more Williams-esque shape.

The new rear wing looks a lot like the Red Bull RB10 rear wing. 'Guru' is really putting his mark on this b-spec car.

That's his real name apparently, he was Second chief Aerodynamicist at Red Bul and hired by Force India at the start of the year:
Dr Guru Johl
Chief Aerodynamicist at Sahara Force India Formula One Team
