your old nose is better, aside from that, it lowers the nose further from the 550mm mark, starving the rear of air, also, the roll blade isnt legal, it needs to be 50mm thick at its widest point :D I am impressed at how much your are learning the software, but aerodynamically it makes no sense the nose,

the front wing, I suggest you start simply with your wing again, get the reg boxes, with the central section in the correct place, and make simple aerofoil profiles, and extrude, and simple outwash endplates nothing else, just stay simple :D

is the nose tip and front bulkhead at the same height or lower than before?
I've found a way of ducting exhaust right to the diffuser edge like in 2011 and created a new wheel fastener that could allow sub 2 second pitstops see them here --> My 2013 F1 Concept Project

Yes I think that wing is better, but use that wing but replace the wing with better wing profiles :)

ah thats ok i thought you had lowered the tip and bulkhead even more for a moment. nick is right the original front wing would be a good place to start

How come your front wing is that far back compared to the endplate? :o

Well realistically the main plane wouldn't fix any further because of the small gap until the net fin in the endplate. Could I see your car from a top view?

surely if you made it so the mainplane attached to the base of the endplate you would get the advantage of a larger area plus your little slot/fin idea?

I swear somebody from HRT is copying my FW's.

I know they are crap but my first FW resembles theirs and their current one resembles my old one. One plane plus a cascade. ;)

Just a thought, but PLEASE don't take it seriously; i'm joking. :D
