10 out of 10 George! Never saw that coming, (actually we did it on purpose to see if anyone noticed). These graphic designer guys, don't you love em? If it needs a flip they flip it, then change the number plate around and even the side strake lettering BUT, they show a LHD aero hump version and I haven't a mould for that option! I have owned lots of American cars and always felt it would be weird to have a RHD version, so perhaps an iconic British car should be RHD. I couldn't resist ordering a RHD Mustang though.

Ahhhhhh!
When you say flip I assume you mean the car originally came in from the rhs?
I'm mentally trying to "flip" it back to the original image and can't!
I read/heard once that a lot of car makers fit cars with number plates that "read" correctly when flipped so they can do tv adverts that can be flipped to show lhd or rhd depending on the country of viewing.
In my opinion though it is time we all drove on the same side of the road to stop the confusion. Logically the side should be selected by majority (number of drivers currently using a particular side) thus well shall now all be required to drive on the.........right!

original image below. Not sure we will ever all drive on the same side Kiwi, over in this part of the world they can't even decide what currency to use. I support Brexit as the IVA was forced upon us by some blokes in Brussels who do not recognise IVA in their own Country so we cannot export to Europe!

LVVTA (Low volume vehicle technical authority) was forced(?) on us by some bloke in parliament, hot rod enthusiasts turned up to his office when there was talk of legislation being introduced. When they told him they could do it better he said "go for it" and they did!
I know you lot think our system is tough but at least it is administered by real car enthusiasts.

please don't zoom in on the centre of the Replicar wheel as you may spot another deliberate mistake !

Stuart.. How do you think a silver grill with a flat black screen behind it would look in the Replicar.. Just me but it looks like buck teeth sticking out front not flowing line.. Sorry your car your colors..

you are right George, I did the same on the side strakes, originally silver mesh, now black with silver bar, much better, I will change the colours on the front.
