Almost finished 

need to add front bumper which is being resprayed.  Door mirrors, wipers, and will change out headlight covers for vacuum form and photoetch surrounds

I was lucky a few years ago to come across on eBay someone getting rid of several of the photoetch sheets for the 1/24 tecnomodel Ferrari 250 swb kits which had the metal bug guard as one of the parts.  Bought them with this car in mind.  
for the Renaissance version one of their body shells come with the part molded…
