I have one of those and I think I opened the box once, never got around to actually putting it together. :lol:

I have a thing of having diecasts of the cars I've owned although it's only 4 so far so not an expensive vice! Was missing a Xsara but have one ordered off ebay in the same colour as the one I had and all. Have a Saxo in the same colour I had, and have all 5 colours of the Kato FTO models so including the steel silver. Got a very nice Autoart 928 model, different colour but fantastic detail on it.

Looks like you're a bit deeper into it than that Seb?

I've been looking for one of those (on and off) for ages.
This thread reminded me but I was too late.

Those 1/24 kits can turn out really well with a little patience.
I remember there was someone who made a mini version of his own car, down to the licence plate and the right wheels.

Can't find it now but it was something like this:
