does it seem that audi is stealing some of the lambo-ness from this though.

Prob scratchbuild part by part... not sure what ill use but i think i got an idea how :rolleyes:

the two "frames" around the nose openings extend much further than you've made it.

will take note of that thanks!~

More progress!
I did up the front again and shorten the front lights, this i didnt realised till i looked at the lp540 pictures closely , then i could see the difference. So it means scratchbuild front and rear lights.
I found tail pipes to fit on the car. size is perfect.

Cheers ! and a big thank u to drunkenmonkey for making me realise the mistakes i made!

before you get too far.

you're probably better off making the new nose intakes from sheet plastic; easier to make them thin and more importantly, match on both sides.
Also, check the new pointed panel line on the nose. Also, the press shots aren't very good, but in some of them, it looks as if the rear of the car doesn't curve as much. You might want to hunt down some plan view to confirm is this is the case or not.

Hahaha... yeah im actually trying to smoothen out the nose then add the pointed area. Im kind of down in terms of tools :( . Im looking for pictures too but cant seem to find much other than the press shots which is sometimes hard to see body shape

I realy like this project couse i haven`t seen this 1:1 Lambo on thoes pics you know so i hope that every thing will be ok!!
Will you live thoes black rims on???
On your place i would paint them in silver if you living them on :D
But you do how you want its your Labmo M8
