The wheels shouldn't be too much of a problem, but the MV6 bumper won't be as easy. The model is cast in resin, so not much I can do to change it, it's cast with the regular bumper, but I might be able to alter it to look like the MV6 one. I'll do some searching around for wheels and get back to you with what I can do.

Ok good luck!!  :y

I've never used 1:76 scale or know too much about them, but as far as I'm aware there's only a prefacelift estate in that scale made by 'Herpa'

Hello all again,
Right, I've done as much research as I can into all the different wheels and anything else relevant. I've managed to get some prices together. However, if you provide your own base model to me it'll be much cheaper. Prefacelifts will cost around £35-£40. Facelifts considerably more, £70-£75 approx but no more.
A breakdown of the costs are as follows: the original schuco 1:43 model is needed for both pre fl and facelift.. They are much rarer now, most are available from german ebay or other such places, and they'll cost me about £26 delivered to me. Some do come up on ebay.co.uk and are cheaper, so when they're available I'll pass this saving on. The facelift models use the bottom plate of the schuco model, windows and front lights. The rest is all made from resin. The resin model costs me £31 plus postage from the netherlands. So facelifts need the original schuco model and the new resin body, ie. £26+£31. So as you can see I'm not charging a lot and making a big profit on each one. I am aware that it is still a lot of money. A full tank of petrol, mot etc etc
Secondly, wheels...emailed and phoned a few people. And they are far too expensive to have made. So the models will only come with the 5 spoke elite wheels or steel wheels. I imagine most would want elite wheels. I am sorry I can't custom make the wheels. I have a facelift CDX, and do realise that without the wheels it won't look exactly like the real car. But I'm afraid it's all I can do. Any questions please feel free to ask.

Would you have any pictures of a finished model?
