Thanks Gents!
Well, you got me with the engine photos
To tell the truth, it was a quick shoot session and since the engine got a lot of my focus in the WIP, I figured that if anyone wanted to see it, there are better photos there
I've attached below a couple of photos from my failed session when I first finished the car last year (I hadn't got my new camera figured out the time) plus a shot from the WIP that shows the hinges in action - I hope that suffices

Good point!
Well, at least there isn't any p/e dust in the pictures

Yes, they are p/e screw heads from a CM generic set. The p/e cavalinos on the lights came from the S27 set.

Grigio Ferro 106-E-8 (metallic graphite?) was my color choice.
I had been hoping to use Cobra Colors or some other original mix automotive paint but unfortunately CC was not available to me in Europe and other sources were unable to provide it so I went for my second choice supplier - Klutz Kustom Kolorz
I used Gunze Mr. Color Black Metallic and Mr. Color steel and mixed them at about 2:1.5. (these are great paints BTW and dry quickly and hard).
I do tend to agree with you though that the flake, even though exaggerated by the camera,
is a touch too large to be perfect. I am still happy with how it looks in person though and since I am my own biggest critic, that's not bad
On the wheels, I am still not sure if I made a good choice or not to use the wire rims, but it's the choice I made and I can live with it.
Thanks again for your encouragement and to Andy and Gio for the party
