Fantastic build of a beautiful car.

I have a question about the cowl grill in front of the windshield. Are we 100% sure that was installed correctly?

For such a beautifully detailed model that part looks bulky and toy like.

It seems to sit a bit high and the horizontal bar is thick; same appearance on another one I've seen. My guess is this-- the opening on the body has a horizontal bar across its center, which should probably be removed so the chrome part sits lower, instead of mounting on top of the bar on the body. A little wash on the chrome part should make it look fine (this is a VERY tiny part and could be difficult to install, will need some testing and finesse).

It might be best to cut out the horizontal part molded on the body, then replace it with a longer horizontal strip underneath that part of the body, allowing space for the chrome grille to nest on.
