[edit] THEY FIXED IT - see this post on page 9 of the thread

I'm really not liking what I see from this design change. It's a problem for me, as a customer. Ruins the design of the front of the car in my opinion, and at this point it's all I can see in pictures.
Here, on the stand at Goodwood:
And here, on a Nimbus example:
It should look like this (below), because this is how it was designed. This rubber seal is not good in my opinion, and the cynic in me guesses it's to fill a gap created by body panels that were delivered significantly out of spec.
I don't understand why they didn't keep the gap short like the prototype cars, and simply add a plastic trim element to the rear of the hood at the cowl to adjust the gap there. Fill it with black plastic on the back side, nobody cares there - it hits free air. At the front it's a dramatic style change, and not for the better.
Thanks to those I stole images from, Lots_of_Trouble (from here) and Darren Jones-Molyneux (on FB).
