The one in the images is illegal, do you mean changed since you posted the images?

I'm assuming you're not trying to get this car rules compliant, just more or less complete?
Anyhoo:
- The left rear tire is intersecting the floor;
- Not sure about this version, but on previous pictures, both rear tires weren't on the same centerline;
- The front wing seems off-center.

I think the front wing looks off because the angle the photo was taken at and also I would assume that the wheel alignment stuff will be sorted in the final car

much improved. only the mainplane of the front wing is a long way back and the slot gap is too big to be very efficient (but that could be the angle deceiving me) Upper flaps are very good however :D
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

Front Wing is aligned.
Floor has not been cut out hence the intersection.
All tyres are fine, angle may not do it justice.

Thanks guys for the feedback.

Would you be able to give us a direct head on shot and a side on shot to remove any of these judgings or to make better based judgings

surely you would want the main plane to be the full depth it can be? from the pictures it looks like it has a smaller depth than the end plates?

Thanks, it looks like it's coming together, really well. Have you got any extreme ideas for the suspension?? Or just going the standard style

I will just do normal suspension. What was meant by extreme?
