The nose has become known as a 'Costin Nose' and under the old FIA papers system only the cars that could prove that they had it in period could use it, but under the new HTP system my understanding is that any Elite could use it as a 'Costin Nose Rep' to FIA appx k regs. Not sure that it makes any difference other than at Le Mans with a 4:2 diff etc.......DAD10 runs a Costin nose, no door frames or windscreen frame as per its period spec.
