Looks awesome mate, little bizarre not seeing the sticker down the side but as you said, it's a rep.

Tiger stripes would suit it to a tee I reckon

Battery tray was cut out due to rust and replaced with a standard one, so can't really go on that. However I do have suspicions if it is one, but all the numbers match etc and now has no rust so that's the most important thing to me.

Yeah going to repaint the wheels, as you said it looks funny with the different shades, thinking either same white as car or satin black with white lip.
