I think what you are seeing is the right hand side on the P5 and the left hand side on the E1. That's why the lower A arm looks different in the two pictures. Upper A arm is definitely different.
And one is looking forward and one is looking aft. Made it look longer and skinnier.

The rear shock is height adjustable and it looks like the front is too.

I wonder if shocks on the production version will also be adjustable.

I don't know. That seems a bit deep to be the bulge. Looks more like the outer door skin to me.

I'm kind of going with "bulge" on the panel in the foreground/center, and we're looking at the bottom of it, but notice that the r/h body panel is formed differently at the lower edge to accommodate the exhaust. Hard to tell without seeing the top of the bulge panel how much it'll protrude, but if they can tuck the exhaust farther inboard, it "could" come close to matching the l/h side :cool:....Yeah...Probably not.:oops:

Isn't that long panel in the center of the pic the roof panel? And I agree that the big panel in the foreground with a hole looks too big for the bulge panel and is more likely the door panel. That oval hole looks like it's for the door handle, and the crease in the panel seems to match the crease in the door panel.

If we're going to debate it, let's have the example of a finished one.
Remember lighting and angle can play tricks on your eyes.

To be honest, the more I look at it the more it does look like the door. The bulge is nearly as long as the body [assuming it's a one piece fairing], and the "object" we're debating looks too short.
