lol im building one almost identical to yours although im doing a WR1

i doubt youll find another one for Ł50 nevermind cheap enough to mod to be honest, they are quite rare now, been months since i saw a road car on ebay, im starting from a limited edition japanese police car roys swapped me.
if you want, ill send you some pictures when its done, and it might make you feel a bit better about stripping the model down, whites not the best colour for blobs anyway
