So why do you want to get this kit then?

Actually, I think replica kits looks the most obvious at straight lines coz of the amount of putty work required. Curves and steps didn't stop replica Veilside kits leh...

Its difficult to reproduce , thats why I want to buy the Abflug.

Yes replica are obvious at Straight lines, but it can still be done nicely, just need to find a very skillful guy.

Veilside can't have more steps than the Abflug.
Look at the number of steps at the front bumper.
Putty work on this small steps are much more difficult than putting on straight flat surfaces.

Bro replica kits really got those ugly side like putty work etc.. But if you sent it to a skill full workshop plus pay alittle bit more than you can get it done nicely. or should i say 90% like original lor..

Next time got meet up show you my car. Most bros see already no complains.. unless they don't dare to tell me lah heheh..

But seriously mine done up not too bad hehehe

I do all my work at TCL, and FYI, Uncle Long is a personal friend's relative...

He is really good, but if a replica kit is really BAD, even his magic cannot make it look like original. Besides, I know he doesn't like to work on replica kits. Do you really think someone who works on Lambos and Ferraris need to work on replica kits?
