Maybe, but I've be very surprised if they were run of the mill grade 10.9 steel bolts

They're probably titanium.

Is there a rule saying you have to display a certain amount of bodywork pieces outside your garages? Or do they just not give a ****?

It probably depends on how much space they have in their garage! Some teams have quite intricate bodywork holders that carry a many items within a small footprint. Maybe TR just ran out of room inside.

Anyway, it's not like the front wing isn't fully visible during the race.

and this from the sporting regulations:

27.4 During the entire Event, no screen, cover or other obstruction which in any way obscures any
part of a car will be allowed at any time in the paddock, garages, pit lane or grid, unless it is
clear any such covers are needed solely for mechanical reasons, which could, for example,
include protecting against fire.
In addition to the above the following are specifically not permitted :
a) Engine, gearbox or radiator covers whilst engines are being changed or moved around the garage.
b) Covers over spare wings when they are on a stand in the pit lane not being used.
c) Parts such as (but not limited to) spare floors, fuel rigs or tool trolleys may not be used as an obstruction.

The new 2014 power units mean all the teams have had to increase their cars' radiator cooling, leading to some quite complex layouts. Toro Rosso's is unique, with two oil radiators (1) cooled by a duct behind the driver's head (a solution that raises the car's centre of gravity), water radiators (2), intercoolers (3) (quite a heavy solution, but one with superior cooling results), and an accumulator (4) to manage the water temperature. Missing in this drawing is the pipe (5) that connects the turbocharger and the intercooler. Also shown is the wastegate (6) used should the turbo go into safety mode.

It seems they still have a split casing for the gear-box and I heard that only the internal parts are identical to the RBR ones.
