Thanks!

Front 'spoilers' look fine to me....the rear was done as a solid piece of resin rather than a formed sheet metal piece as the real car is for simplicity sake I'm sure. If the rear spoiler didn't have the slight curvature to it it could have been done as a photo etch piece which could have been folded to position.

Wipers are not on the car most of the time these days.

Tire diameters could be better...but there aren't many good alternatives for this period in scale.

The round side window vent was supplied as a decal which I didn't think enhanced the model any.

Gas cap looks in scale to me.

Door handles are too large but again there are no alternatives at hand. Tecnomodel copied Italeri's 250 SWB engine and drivetrain in resin to make it a 'full detail'....and I suspect the door handles are Italeri's also.

I barely have time to watch paint and glue dry these days which is to say I can't re-engineer/correct every kit I build. That's life.
