I will try to be more helpful I measured the nose lower skirt on an original Lotus S2/3 and from a reproduction made by DSK, from the period. They were both very close. LOTUS DSK

Then that bottom edge should have reached the frame. They cut it short. I would ask for another, with corrections. Or take the opportunity to fab a hinge Piano hinge

Do the headlamp brackets align under the openings?

I looked at that first thing myself, and I'm going to disagree of your assessment of the bonnet angle. Cat nose heights vary from car to car, but my observation of Cat bonnet angles is they are nearly horizontal, especially on a DeDion. This requires some proof. The front bonnet height on my 96 is 6.25" and the and the scuttle is 9". A Lotus nose height is generally an inch shorter 5.25". The inch difference is more noticeable depending on the rear ride height which I believe S2s & 3s (live axles) ride ride higher in rear. With John's silhouette being perfectly horizontal, and to have the bonnet angle it does, is evident to me this is based on a S2 profile, or an artistic library has been taken. Regardless, I think the lines of the car are very good but the silhouette lines could be thicker or darker to pop better for smaller thumbs, etc. Yes it's a ridiculous argument. But it's fun.

I like the flares/clams (only Americans call them clams), but lets face it, flares are too per-war looking for the modern tastes. Think MGTD. Cat certainly drppped the clams adapting to the consumer tastes as well as competition best practices as allowed. The cycle wings became the standard equipment since the late 90s. After all, initially the flared wings were only a compromise to get into the American market. It is a fortunate coincidence the flares do compliment the 7 very well, IMO. But I would prefer to race with cycle wings.

What is the pipe diameter?

It wasn't me, but I remember the incident.. A throttle cable on a Crossflow, I think, came lose and grounded on the fan switch or water temp terminals. Result was a fire. I have heard of the R clips on the Triumph LF14 caliper guide pins coming off. Weber DCOE inspection cover wing nuts need drilled and safety wired.

This has my vote so far

Then might as well have a steering wheel and standard windscreen

I think @Slonie silhouette is better there as it's a bolder line. It will pop

I like this if there were a 7 silhouette under the USA, left of the 7
