Couple of slight issues I have spotted with is build. First off, he's put the bloody steering wheel on the wrong side 
Second, he is a lazy twat as he hasn't cut off the tag ends on his cable ties!
Third, it just doesn't look right, can't quite put my finger on why, but its wrong! 
You only live once - make the most of it!

Looks very close to the real thing...........
Maybe too close.
You should see the fit the atom club forums had over my car.......
Two differences I have spotted so far is that the instrument binnicle is in the centre of the car and the steering rack is in front of the wishbones.
On the atom the rack is behind the front bones and mounted on the front foot well.

and his n/s/f tyre and o/s/r tyre are both facing the wrong direction.
Don't like the fabric pulled loosely over the bonnet and back.
A classic case of 'nice from far but far from nice!'.
