Exclamation WRC Focus Progress....(lots of pics)

Hey
This is my 2nd kit ever! and im pretty happy with this one so far!

It is a WRC focus but i wanted it more as a street/race look...so i lowed it and painted it gold (Tamiya TS-21)

Here is what i have so far!



I was going to make a intercooler but it wouldnt fit becuase the body mounts so close to the chassis so i removed the radiator and replaced it with a scratch built cooler:


I finished the interiror:




Here are a few pics of the body (still not complete)
Think i should leave the lights black?





What do you guys think so far?

At first I thought: "Ehh, another racecar made street, that's gonna look funny." Then I saw the radiator/intercooler swap and I thought "That's gonna look weird." But then I saw it all together. Looks mean. And honestly, that crazy crossing bar action ahead of the intercooler is totally boss, as far as I'm concerned. I like it! The only thing I'd do different is change the wheels, the block tread doesn't belong on an DOT leagal car (in any country).

Definately keep the 2nd set of rims, they match the car perfect. It's kinda hard to decide on the headlights since I haven't seen them not blacked out, but they look fine to me right now. Awesome paint and detailing. Looks way better than what most race cars turned to street cars look like.

I like the rims on the Pug, too. Those rock. I'd kill the shine on the center with some dullcoat though, to kive them a little contrast. Otherwise, those are beautiful. I'm wishy washy on the lights, though. Rockin' car!
