I was thinking about getting that one for the build. What's with all the filler on the front bumper, is the fit that bad?

[MakingModels]

It wasn't great. Probably didn't need all that filler but hey

So we have colour

Have to admit.. struggling a little with this. Not used to cars

Exterior colour change as well but this did not go down so well so currently stripping of all the paint.
