In 2004, I built this replica for my friend. The only major change then was the Scoot bonnet. Painstakingly filed and shaped with limited tools from the Apex-i bonnet, I made some pla plate vents and used a bit of putty to get the final appearance. The side skirts were pla plate covered with decal carbon. That's it.
In 2009 after Miguel added some parts to the REAL car, and after some kids had left their toll on the original, I refreshed the car with some more accurate panels.
And swapped out the gram lights for some MS-01
In 5 years, the number of products for modelers have increased 1000 fold. real looking stretchable carbon stickers were one item I used on this.
The results were pretty good,
My carving on the R-Spec bumper came close to a knight sports design.
While the details are not 100% accurate, the basic styles are accentuated for impact rather than perfection.
Wrinkles here and there cracked paint etc, but the overall effect was pretty good. I layed a couple of layers of clear over the existing bright carbon bonnet for realism.
Below is the 1/1 version with some fat regamasters we tried one day.
