I agree. Given that photos always make paintwork look better than in real life that is quite dull and has not been cut back and mopped. Also the flange on the wheel arch looks like it has had the filler ladled on with a builders trowel.

Otherwise it does look correct, albeit the under bonnet detail lets it down.
