Well, that's your opinion and could be right for many people but I don't share this point of view
I don't really appreciate panel lines, cos' it's not "real" for me... I explain: on the real car you don't have any black lines between doors or panels, this black line is only a light effect.
When you look at a car very close in full light you don't see any panel lines. That's why I don't usually make some on my models.
Especially on white cars, if it's not really fine it really could look ugly...
some people make panels lines that most look like a entire black panel than a panel line !
I don't want that, but I know that a very slight line could give better effect...
I tried it on the Mica blue sub', black on dark blue doesn't work bad, but with white I prefer not doing it.
maybe a light grey or brown line would works, but I am definitely not a panel lines maker !
But I still have to improve some skills and get better on some points
So thanks for the notice

PS: What is missing is a real missing part, it's not something about a building appreciation.
the last pic should make you realize it immediately.
