There are the two most infamous problems with this kit
i) too high a ride height.
ii) there's no tolerance engineered into the sill fitment - none at all so when you try to fit it after painting, there is zero space for it.
both aren't that difficult to fix.
For the chassis, I plan to just remove about 1mm from its height to get it to sit higher in the body.
As for the sills, it just takes a lttle sanding to give it some room.
A couple of other things to watch out for.
The front/lower nose piece doesn't locate properly and you'd need to make better pins.
There is a little gap inbetween the bodywork and the rear light lens that needs a little styrene filling piece.
Test fit wing mirrors properly because the angle of the mirror part makes it sit droopily.
There is no seperate wiper.
On an accuracy note, the real car has out board disc brakes all round but the kit has the older in board discs at the rear.
