looks pretty good overall on your decals try and cut off as much of the clear as you can and you should find another way to mount you side mirrors that white foam or whatever that might be takes away a lot of the realism mount those with some kind of glue what will adhere to lexan without damaging it and the two tone on your car looks pretty good but for the lines where the two paints meet looks like you masked that area in a rush take your time next time around but a suggestion for that is look for the blue painters tape that is only like a 5th of an inch wide it makes better curves but use that for the initial line you make for separating the two colors then fill in the main part with some wider tape until your happy with it and try and follow a body panel line for even straighter lines but i like your car you don't see many S 2000's good job

S2K's are tight. I'm not usually a fan of two tone, but black and blue looks pretty badass actually. What width is that shell?

Sorry for my bad puctuation I try and correct it but I usually don't have time I know how you feel though it bothers me to.
