Hi Matt
Nice Landie. It looks like some have not been fitted with the modified front fenders like the one below :

I based it on that pic, but forgot about the fenders! I still need to add some small details like the bridge classifiction sign, the stencilling onthe bumper, and a couple of other bits.
