Smile Look What I Got!!

Went to my daughters school fete on sunday, whilst wandering round
looking at the usual junk on sale (you know what I mean!!)
I noticed a Tamiya logo shining to me like a beacon, so after heroically wading my way through hordes of screaming kids (and mums!) i finally got to the table and found this (sorry bout the cack picture!)

Here is a pic of the body shell (moulded in colour!)

And this is what the rims are like (hmm tri-spokes! oh well never mind!)

The kit itself isn't that difficult and only has around 35 parts including a
self-adhesive interior carpet!
But I thought it looked sort of cute and it only cost £1.50!! (2.25US$)
Not too sure if I should build it as per instructions or have a play around and see what else I could do to it!
Any suggestions as to what I could do with it?
Let me know (only CLEAN suggestions accepted!)

No no no! Go for the cute look and make it pink on stock wheels.

Wink

Yeah thanks for the replies but i#ve got no idea where to get different size wheels from here in good 'ole U.K anyone know?
Kinda like ales idea stock wheels and pink (with big daisy's on it!)
I had thought of slammin' it but the prob there is it has solid metal axles
that go all the way through the chassis so not sure really what to do!
Any more suggestions?

You're right, it's fixed now. It's a Toyota Previa van body grafted onto a Toyota GT-One chassis and frame. ROFL! :hehehe:

Find some dis-used race decals and go nuts!
