Removing
the radiator grille worked in a similar way; it has also got a tenon on its
back.

After
that we could tear off the chassis plate like shown in our photo, but we had to
be very careful because the lower front grille and the fog lamps stuck in the
front spoiler - better safe than sorry!
Dismantling
the remaining parts was no problem at all. As our photo shows, the exterior mirrors
which had not been fitted by Herpa were still on the sprue (front, in the
middle).
Have
a look at parked cars! Usually their front wheels are turned a bit. Model cars,
however, often look like static toys because of their straight front wheel
position. So we decided to ‘carve’ two tiny oblique fragments from a polystyrene
sprue to glue the wheels to the chassis plate in a slightly turned position.
