Front seat has been moved back as it interfered with the steering wheel which was painted dull aluminium Vallejo 77.717 . I noticed that front bumper is some kind of yellowish chreome silver. So I mixed that colour. Steering column was painted the same colour.

Łukasz , build is pretty straightforward ... I just moved the front seats a bit backwards because they touch the steering wheel. Part 2 & 3 needed a bit of putty .... Also be careful with the headlights ... attaching points are very very small. Otherwise all went smooth, Go for it !!!!!
