Lights

The head light base will need to be painted in chrome

The Taillight Cover is a one-piece transparent part. It is required to be painted in transparent red for the two round stop and turning lights, in transparent grey for the back light; then those three elements will need to be masked as the rest will have to be painted with the body color. This can be a challenge and difficult.

Body accessories

To adapt with the version of the car you want to build, there are several parts that will have to be glued on the body. The first is the front hood tip as shown below.

Then, the side body spoiler:

Then the rear spoiler lower and upper parts. On each of these parts, you’ll have to cut some pins. It’s possible that the original boy had the matching holes for these pins, but there are not present on the current body.
