hi R,
its truely a stunning car, and well done to you both.
when you build something you can only build the car you want to see when finished, what you both have acheived is what most miss. and thats the quality of build. that really shins through.
others opinion are valid, as they are only personal preferences, and we will all have different ones. i didnt like to add this earlier. as i didnt want to risk an arguement over personal preference. but the bonnet straps will only look wrong to some at this moment in time, because they are new. my own supersports as you know is black. it has brown straps. but after 35 years they are increadably well suited to the car. and the wings, im not a pointed wing person myself. but my first thought was they are very well suited to the car. because it adds to that coach built look. and austin 7 coach builders have been fitting pointed wings from swallow to cambridge. i guess the handles are a nod back to the cars origins.
one thing nobody will dispute is the quality and style, well done.
