So you were lying! -
Here you can see which parts I removed and added so far, with respect to the pimped Sian: https://rebrickable.com/sets/compare/slow/?1-set=MOC-46782&1-inv=68462&1-user_list=&2-set=&2-user_list=47533 I'll post the actual mods once I've verified them physically (I'm waiting for a few parts to build the exhausts). That's entirely personal I guess. I'm not bothered at all by some studs -- in fact, it gives me a nice bit of nostalgia. Anyhow, the Sian is on a shelf next to my 26-years-old 8880 Supercar which has studs all over, so no-one is gonna notice any on my Sian!

So after adapting the exhaust, it was exactly that spot that stood out as weirdly shaped, emphasizing it even more. I searched through my inventory for lime-colored wedges, which yielded only 1 of each of these guys: After some tinkering, I've come to believe that they're actually perfect for attaining the right shape! Compare with the real Sian photos which I posted above: From this angle especially, we can see that weirdly rectangular corner on the right, versus the smooth lines on the left: But does it fit? Why yes! Angled at 22.5 degrees, there is just enough space, as this bottom view proves:

I guess it's supposed to be usable as panel extender, like a 1L slice of EDIT: ah this was already said on new page which I didn't see- 5,507 replies

Anyone else unhappy with the way TLG rendered the exhausts? Been tinkering a bit, and I think I found something more accurately hexagonal: This alternative extends out exactly as far as TLG's original. Compare with source material: Sorry, no real photo of my alternative, as I don't have the required System parts in my inventory -- yet.

Thanks for checking it! Later I realized a better way to move back the front beam would be to keep the double but replace the #1 connector underneath by . That would also allow fine-tuning the exact placement of the front beam so as to close the gap but without stress. Anyway, all of this is hypothesis -- I'll experiment myself later.

You mean as brake caliper holder? Or that this part would be redundant? Sure, there are plenty clip-based parts, but barely any in lime. Maybe this part could look better in lime builds -- then again, maybe it'll look too much like a severed arm. I just thought I'd bring its existence to your attention. (the part is new for 2020) I for one am tired of seeing clips pushed into half-pins. Or worse, clips holding clips. Aaaaargh! When building my Chiron, I quickly replaced this abomination by the good old- 5,507 replies

Would part 66788 be useful for Technic builds? For example to hold one end of a flex axle...- 5,507 replies
