I must commend you on an oil filler cap perfectly aligned with the bodywork. I find both the gas cap and the oil filler cap will go out of whack if they are pressed upon whilst wiping the car down. As for the front hood, only the most persistent ever get it properly aligned!
This isn't quite like mine. Mine came with the yellow/gray/blue hammer, and green top/black bottom without the ROTOR on the green top. There are pictures of this somewhere on the 288 thread. Or, I can take another picture and re-post. Steve
Bought by an Australian but doubt it would have been imported, would probably cost over A$300,000 in taxes to do that and no rebate if re-exported. And it cannot be registered, (LHD).
