tamiya TS paint, little cans, £3.99 from a local hobby shop, no primer or anything then clearcoat, p.s if you use paints like holts or halfords, like primer, basecoat and clear, it makes the model bigger = parts wont fit, like bonnet and lights learnt this the hard way when i was younger

no its just a model kit, you need to buy paint to build the model and glue from hobby craft or something, it comes with instructions

What are the rear lights like to change around, as you haven't shown the rear end pics as they will be different.

 

Also, just FYI it's spelt "modify". :D

 

 

On the tamiya kits the rear lights are all clear, so you just paint them as you like for either UK or J-Spec

Oh wow thats sweet, did you do the number plates yourself? I'd so love to make a black UK spec just like mine and put my plates on etc but don't think my hand is that steady!! How easy are these to build, are there alot of tiny fidly parts?

lots and lots of tiny parts, setting up the front suspension and discs are the hardest parts i think, yea you paint the circle light bits, i changed it for the uk spec and put a larger plate at the rear on the uk in yellow, ill post pics later.
