The Lotus front wing is hideous, and the livery makes it worse. I wish they would have banned barge boards when they had the chance.
But, I will admit that the steering wheels and the road wheels are awfully trick!

They did ban bargeboards. They have been banned for a few years. This car shown has nothing on it that would be considered bargeboards.
It has turning vanes near the front of the side pods and the normal, stacked endplate and midplate front wing. But no bargeboards.
