Thank you. Just posted some more. Happier with the simplified rear hinge and strut support (updated pics are towards the top of page), but still playing with prop rod ideas. With the updating the hinge and slightly relocating the adjustment knob to raise and lower spoiler, was able to get the rear cover to sit as low and flush as it did without the hinge. Aside from a slight view of the prop rods with cover closed, it’s concealed fairly well. There’s enough support to angle the lid in multiple positions. Will post captions later. https://www.flickr.com/photos/158360440@N05/ Happy New Years everyone!

Thank you brunojj1. Just opened a Flickr account and posted a few more photos there. https://www.flickr.com/photos/158360440@N05/ The rear cover is attached using your basic system slightly modified with a double hinge (similar to what you did in the front) to clear the overhang of the air scoop / 3rd brake light. The piece you used for the wiper arm was just the right angle to provide support for the cover and folds neatly out of the way into the cover when closing. I’m still playing with the hinge design in an effort to simplify it further. I attempted to use the Bugatti rotors on the Porsche wheels but could not get enough clearance for calipers and wheels kept popping off. Incorporated the Lego piston engine parts and made a few mods to make that fit and function along with the addition of some turbo plumbing. Mirrors are similar to the race version of the P1. Made a few slight changes on the rear to tighten up gaps as I opted not to use the fence (but miss the visibility into the engine bay). Up front plumbed a brake cooling duct to where the larger fences would have been. You’ve encouraged us to think with this model, both in assembly and with ideas. Look forward to seeing this family evolve with your creation.

Brunojj1, Awesome design and a fun build. Took time over the last few months and came away with an impressive addition to the collection. I jumped around in the instructions, making subtle changes along the way to personalize. A few parts were sourced from around the world, making this build even more meaningful. Waiting for a couple of parts to arrive, but will post pics of what I have. You have offered a phenomenal platform where we can use our imaginations, making this an evolving process of ideas and mods. Great job and thank you for sharing! I’ll post some current pics shortly!
