Would you strip the paint off the die cast first?
I don't think the putty will bond very well to either paint or metal, which makes things rather difficult. Could try putting in the extra detail with metal instead of styrene, JB weld instead of glue, and Bondo instead of plastic putty.
I can get the decals cut by my brother, who works in an advertising firm where they have silver reflective vinyl and a plotter... just need a good image of the Jaguar symbol which shouldn't be too difficult. Beyond that, the text may be a pain, but I might be able to get that plotted as well.... The only problem is where to get the rims?
