June 27, 2023this was my first try modifying a bodykit. filled the gaps and formed the lower part here. I had serous troubles with keeping the shape. I had to use filling primer at the end because i was unable to form it properly. I guess not enough skill.7

June 27, 2023it was actually looking not that bad after i covered it with first layer of paint13
June 27, 2023and here i decided that i should have a metallic paint. i was very unhappy with the result but did not want to invest anymore time and decided to continue14
June 27, 2023the wheels turned out great, with decals from the original kit and tamiya titanium gold paint for the centers.15
June 27, 2023road grime included16
June 27, 2023carpets looked cool. They were beige from the kit so i painted them gray 🙂 You can compare the texture of the carpets with flocking on the rear17

June 27, 2023no airbag 🙂19
June 27, 2023here is the weird offset of the driver´s seat. i was unable to place the seat to a different location because of the mounting points. i did not want to redo the mounting points, so just continued.20
June 27, 2023now with lip and foglights in place21
June 27, 2023i also had modified the rear bumper a bit- took out some height and added a small lip so that it does not protrudes and looks flush22
