Jaguar F-Type Speed Champions moc

[tralux21]

As you can read in the title this is my attempt of a Jaguar F-Type. It is built with the same style and proportions as the original LEGO Speed Champions series. Although the speed champions use lots of stickers to capture some of the key elements of a car I really wanted the front with the unique inlets to be brick built. The interior can hold a minifig and is equipped with a steering wheel. 

The car perfectly fits in the Speed Champions series because it uses the same key elements as the official cars. It has the same baseplate, fenders, windscreen, axles and wheels. I also used the officials cars as a reference and inspiration to make it even better. I am not quite sure about the spoiler yet so I posted an image without it.

As you might already have guessed I am a big fan of the Speed champions series and the Jaguar F-Type is one of my favourite cars. So I would really like to see this become an official set. So please support this car on LEGO Ideas

Nice F Type - I saw it and voted for on Lego Idea some times back. Very well executed design.

the only question I have is on the front end. I don't quite understand how the 2 studs vertical bricks under the headlamps are linked together. It looks to me that they are actually not attached to anything. Can you explain how they work?

 

cheers

Sorry that it took so long for me to answer but this picture should explain how the front is attached.
