What to check on a loose example
Inspect the plastic windshield and fenders for cracks, bends and missing pieces. Compare the tire sidewalls and wheel face to the listed wheel type, then check paint wear around the fender edges, grille and hood. The metal base and its country stamp can help distinguish releases that otherwise share the same body color.
For this version, confirm Silver with burgundy accents with Lace wheels. The cataloged country is Malaysia.
