1/24 Cararama VW Golf GTI MK V

Wild looking 'Red Devil' Golf GTI

In contrast to my poor 328i convertible, this Golf GTI from Cararama is just too good to be true in term of its price & quality. This one costs me less than the 328ci yet featuring decent detail & quality. The glossy paint is so smooth without showing off observable orange peel. The wheels you'll see in the pictures below are not the ones came from the box. The original wheel is just fine, but the car's stance is too high I suppose. As it's quite troublesome to reduce the height of the car without damaging the original chasis, I decide to replace them with Fujimi's BBS 17 inch two tone color version (some say 'time attack' version). The car turns out hotter, doesnt it? At least it does before my eyes. Here some pics for you to enjoy..

The height is just perfect now.

The widebody is so natural. Perfect emblem. Nice exhaust tips too.

Panel line is added.

Beautiful 'eyes' & 'mustache' - if you know what I mean ^^

The best engine room Ive ever seen in 1/24 car so far.

And just for fun!

Thus,I give 9.5/10.. what you think? Anyone like to second it?

1/43 Cararama Volkswagen Golf GTI

Here's another of the RM5 Tesco Cararama series. This is the final one from my haul at Tesco. Can't find these any more. As usual (for now), the details are superb for a car at this price.Side profile. Simple looking. Love those rims.
Still have the even-more-lovely brake callipers. Mirrors are not oversized here.
Simple back here.
Very detailed front end. Even the GTI wording is there. Not the umber plate, but on the grille.
Rear end. Brake lights a bit pinkish, but it's not much of a big deal.
Interior is the usual high standard.
Sorry for the rather dark pictures, as my cam seemed to have some problems. Anyway, from the first pic, you can see that the GTI seems to have the R8's LED light like effects. Nice.
I would buy a few more of these little cars if they were still around. At this price and with such details, it is really a steal.
