Ł1800 is very very steep,i suppose some are worth more than others and i'd of thought theres more chance of selling them separately,not many people will splash out that much.

know how u feel the front end is a bitch to get looking right. leave it for a few days and then go back to it thats what i have to keep doing.
on the bonnet if u run the putty up underneath the bonnet too it will give it more to grab onto.

yere i will do eventually , need to get 1 done first and it is hard trying to build the bumpers so they come off the model. the bonnet will be full resin version with the vents built in .going to take a while to get it all spot on.

I have a kentoy car with these on. The wheels needed a lot of modification to the back to make them useable. They arnt on an axel, they are held onto something that is attached to a bit of plastic that screws down to the base.
