Stunning work, i love it!
I agree that the rims could have been tucked in a little but don't risk changing it now. The colour looks like th VW Canyon Red I used on my Z.

Thanks for the comments guys,
Yep, the paint was a Halfords VW Canyon Red with a coat of clear on top. I was very pleased with the finish, one of the better paints I've had from Halfords. In normal light it looks red, but shine a direct light on it and the metallic finish comes to life. Goes really well with the car scale. Used a friends airbrush (he's not getting it back now  )to smoke the sunroof with thinned down Tamiya smoke.I had some real problems getting the front wheels to go that far under the arches. With the break disc mod and the male to female switch in the wheels it didn't leave me much room. Even after I'd taken off a lot of plastic!  I may well go back to it when I'm feeling brave.I'm going to give the mod cars a rest for a while and have a go at this baby next...

Nice work! Having just finished that model myself, it's nice to see another one so soon afterwards and one that looks quite different than mine. I almost used a spoiler like yours, but went w/the stock one. I love the rims you chose, but I felt that my Celica looked better w/17's vs. 18's, which all seemed just a bit too large on the Celica. Having done a ton of wheel conversions, I know how hard it is to get just the right stance when you make such a huge change in wheel size. It's never easy fitting Fujimi/Aoshima rims on a Tamiya model.
The color is great, and you've done a killer job getting the body panels to fit and look like they were molded on by Tamiya in the first place.

but i agree with the guys that the front wheels should be moved inside the guards... it will look much better and right
