Just finished this one and considering that i started it about 3 years ago I am very happy to see the back of it.
I lowered the suspension because as usual for a Fujimi kit it was like a tractor and replaced the exhaust tailpipe with a bigger diameter and longer piece to clear the rear bumper. I also carried out some crude detailing on the dash as it is really lacking in detail, there was just a blank piece were the heater controls were meant to be so I painted those on as best I could and then painted the other buttons that were on the dash

Other than that it is built box standard.

I also lost a wing mirror at final assembly and spent enough time to make another kit looking for it before I finally gave up and used a pair I had in the parts box that I detailed with carbon.

I tore the number plate decal when polishing so I will have to replace that aswell.
