The dashboard has been modified and I am still working on it.

Those wheels and tyres look great Harry, much better than the originals in my opinion :thumbup:

Yes the wheels are great, but when I did some research most of the photos,
Show them with the supplied wheels.

I have made a start on corrections to the paddle and spade.
No exhaust are supplied, easy fix with wire. :thumbup:

Finally, I think I will invest in wheels and tyres. That change completely the model.

For exhausts pipes, I don' t understand this oversight.
Sorry for my spelling mistakes, I try to do better every day...
