most probably not the best image to show the difference

You posted twice the same.. 

It's looking nice and clean now! Great job! 

I prefer the rear without the blinkers, but then it creates a discrepancy with the front..

They’re definitely different, it’s just that it’s a pure side view and so doesn’t render well. If you look at the front wheel you can see the difference best.

Spokes with rear indicators

First one IMHO is better (with six spoke design)

My bad. Now with better contrast I see. In fact, I misread and was expecting different color or shape. 

Spokes side, definitely.

So build is underway and found a few errors in my CAD but nothing critical, just mainly missing pins.

Here’s the Chassis shot

Rear indicators and steels  but not in black.  (I'm not a fan of black rims. They do work on a bright yellow mx5) A pop of color would be nice. Even if you just do a render to see..

Finished ... I think

To have monochrome roadster you have to use all black pins 

Looks very modern

Looks great! Reminds me BMW Z3 :)

As I’d finished my entry early (for a change) and I’m waiting for some lovely Star Wars sets to arrive, I thought I’d build something that was left on the shelf unopened.

Thanks Eurobricks and @Jim for running these competitions

That's a nice in-scale combo, but it's not the kind of marketing you'd want on your TC18 entry, right? 'Car broke down before contest closed'...

Well perhaps it’s got too much Classic British sports car in it ;) ... it seemed more appropriate than having it on the forklift.

I hope you put it in neutral first if you're going to tow a RWD car like that

Well it’s a manual not an auto so it’s fine
