That an old/used sidepod panel as evidenced by the burn marks around the exhaust

The cascade element looks a little bit different as does the support - nothing massive but a refinement none the less

Maybe it's just me, but that wing looks like it's old and beat up.

Yeah like its been in a race, I don't think we have seen any new parts yet.

Why show them off outside the garage.

new front and rear wing, a new exhaust as well as a more silver arrow like coating for barcelona.

I wonder if the new exhaust will improve the supposedly high fuel consumption

That, and/or stop heating the rear tyres up as much. These developments were explicitly targeted at improving race pace.

Only difference I see on the engine cover/sidepod photo is the Mercedes Benz "star" is now there and quite large... seems to be the same shade of grey to me also

Could have fooled me... maybe when the car is fully assembled it will be easier to tell...??

I think the panels we have seen thus far are old/used and not the new ones but who knows will find out later today or tomorrow I guess.

The silver on the engine cover looks way different to me. I can't tell any difference with the other photos though.

One cockpit fin now.

That's not quite what it says. Just that none are visually that apparent.
