Nige:
Thanks for the color compliment, but green wouldn't be my first choice either for a FIA...definitely not with the yellow stripe. Like you, others have told me it looks properly fitting to the car, but I can't keep myself from thinking about changing the color. If nothing else, perhaps moving to old english white for the stripe, a change up of the roundals, and another set of FIA wheels with matching white centers. Below are a few other applications of green to establish the color a bit further in our minds... Early days, I know, but a fun topic to discuss, non-the-less.
Great job on nose surgery to this point... I was going to make a "helpful" comment about the upper radi of the opening needing to be a bit larger than what's represented on the template/Pilgrim shell, but I think there's a bit of variation in this area over the COB/CSX cars, so who's to say what's correct... I think yours will certainly look proper enough.
Now back to the colors:
