Forgot to add. If it was a true replica of a McRae/Grist car you need to roll it a few times to get the authentic effect

Well if we are being pedantic from this pic

555 on front wing in wrong location and is wrong angle
main 555 on side is wrong
555 on rear wing is wrong size and wrong angle
555 on bonnet wrong size
SUBARU on bonnet wrong size
Pirelli sticker on front splitter wrong size
incorrect rear spoiler

Still think it looks smart, but not a reproduction of original - which doesn't necessarily matter, gives it some individuality

Yes, I know why 555 was changed to )))

as i would be thinking what a smart car.
