pbryant_knight Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Looks real nice mate. I've had models of all my cars and customised them to look the same . Tend to give the model away with the car when i sell them though. Should have really kept them as reminders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
