Nose cone to side panel doesnt look right?

But where the nose cone joins up to the side panel it doesnt look right.
What am i supposed to do here?

Thanks

Are the side panels and the nose from the same supplier?

Had a similar problem with my GTS panels.
I cut the corner off at 45deg.
 
It doesn't look too bad from the front now.

I'd cut a "V" out of the horizontal/underneath part and pull it in to join it, then use the offcut to make a tab across the cut and
put 2 or 4 rivets in it to keep it in shape........

Thanks, it wont currently pull in. But if i cut the bottom off, it should then be nice and flexy and pull in i think.

A lot of Indys Ive seen have that area completely open, which looks as bad IMO. Im suprised its not something theyve looked at designing out or
covering somehow.

Why is it bad ? i prefer mine that way...........It seems you never have anything constructive to say. It must be a very negative world you live
in
