That's what I think. although the body is acceptable, it is the easiest part to build from scratch and you would have to rebuild the suspension arms, probably the spoilers would be very thick and without detail ...
For about 8 euros I bought the decals of Tameo( god quality) and with plasticard and some paste I build my own, from scratch and in detail as far as my ability allows

You are very correct. That is why after I painted the body, it is still in the box. The front wing and rear wing end plates are too thick. It needs all new suspensions. I don't think they are difficult to replace but just need some time to do it.

The good thing is I think I only sent 3 Cnd for it.
