complete with the colour coded bumpers and modern rear parking assist

I have added a further album with the 2 models side by side.
The roof bumps are a treatment similar to that on many mainstream cars, where roof rack fittings are mounted, and has been done to remove the over door guttering.
Both cars are gas powered and the lining of the boot lid also incorporates a fastening for 2 BOC umbrellas (not shown opn the photos)
