I don't have a pic available for the finished model, but there are quite a few S1 Elises available in 1/18 scale.

Any pics of the model? I used to have a 1.9GTI and managed to find a very good model of it a few years ago by some obscure manufacturer, but it's a very good likeness of the real car. I miss my 1.9GTI!!
Good news for 205 GTi Owners, this has just been released: Norev 1/18 205 GTI 1.9

Looks fairly decent and from what I can see, the colours are all the same as mine. May have to get one! Only thing I may have to look into is getting a larger Gutmann rear spoiler made to match my old car.

I’ve got a solido GTI as T16 both 1/18, might have to snap this one up!

I love how the wheels look hand polished like they were on mine! Sold it before the salt ruined them fortunately!
