there is the option of either, so you can still have the more traditional look or on steroids look

The new nose in my opinion looks really ugly. The old one looks dead right.
But as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

A couple of weeks ago, it would have been another vote for the old nose from me, but the more I see the new 'un, the more I like it
Another vote for the new one here...

I have the exact same views as unclefista.
The cars both look stunning and new nose has definately grown on me, gets my vote.

New nose for me too.
I like the flared sides.
Are they cosmetic or do they actually help reduce wind resistance against the steering arms and wishbones?

I thought the flaired sides were just to keep the nosey SVA man out of the front wishbone pickup points, but I could be wrong!

Think there are Three reasons.
1 ) as you say deflects air round the steering arms cant do much harm.
2 ) keep the SVA man's dome away from some of those dificult bits to cover.
3 ) the rear of the nose cone can be removed to vent / pull hot air from the back of the radiator this must help keep the under bonnet temps down

i like them both. I think id pick the new one myself, but really, the more the merrier. Helps make the car unique! Id probably get a spare one if they
let me and get a friend to modify it.

Bit of a thread highjack but does anyone do a really snarly open mouthed nose cone?
I have seen lots of pictures of sevens lined up at car shows and a lot of them the open "faces" look a bit small and "pouty"
for want of a better word.
I think I am after something that looks like it might chew on the bumper of the car in front. I guess the drag would be worse but maybe the radiator
cooling may improve a little.....
Just thinking aloud.

I love it! The new one gets my vote. It looks better from some angles than others though...
What RAL colour is the new car? Very nice!
