Cool New Shaped Cooper 'S' Bonnet????

I collected my new indi blue/black 'S' 2 weeks ago............impressed! Has the bonnet been redesigned? The air scoop is much lower and there appears to be less of a 'hump' on the bonnet, consequently a lower profile.
HAs anyone else noticed this or is it my imagination??

I rekon some fat ******* probably sat on it in the showroom mate!!

I haven't heard of any change, and I doubt that they could get the intercooler in if they did. Perhaps a trick of the light or colour (BRg looks smaller than yellow for instance.

I havent noticed any difference in the height - I picked up IB/B about a month ago.

There are some pictures on here, if you want to compare.

Color and lightine effects

As stated above it has to be the color and lighting that deceives your eye from other cars or pictures. Or that some fatty sat on it.

If they were going to change the design of the hoood for 2003 S they would of said something, as long as everyone else that has a 2003 S.

Cheers guys.
Not a fat b*****d in sight so I reckon it's just light/different colours. Indi Blue rocks..........
