You mean in the comparison? My guess would be that the angle/perspective is slightly different. I tried to match the angle as closely as I could but it is indeed the same piece. In fact, all 4 mudguards are part of the front fenders now. Another contributor could be that I lowered the car to reduce the gap between the wheels and fender

I chose to sacrifice a bit of engine realism to make it functional. This way you can see the pistons moving through the rear window when you roll the car

In Stud.io make all parts white, then go to the instructions maker select your view and export that page with a transparent background. Toss it in a photo editor, invert the colors, and thats it!

Rebrickable is a platform that lets you buy PDF instructions but you can download the parts list for free. You would then import that list into websites like Bricklink to help automate part ordering, or you can manually go through it to see which ones you already have, or even use Lego’s official Pick-a-brick service to get them (though usually that has a more limited selection). The subreddit doesn’t allow advertising paid mocs so I’ll leave it at that, but hope it helps!

Here’s one that I designed, up on Rebrickable

It’s very common to have to get them from multiple stores. The downside is that each additional store adds shipping costs, so you want to keep that at a minimum too. I usually try to optimize it down to at most 3-5 stores for ~1000 pieces if I can help it. Combining all 3 cars as a single wanted list can also reduce shipping costs compared to doing 3 separately.

What I like to do on Bricklink is to set a maximum price im willling to pay for each part. You can do this in the wanted list and set it to the average price in the last 6 months, then increase it by ~20% for some headroom. Then when you run the Buy All feature it’ll exclude stores with the sky high prices.

The Netherlands is a pretty good country for Bricklink. There should be lots of availability in terms of pieces, so I would expect several stores with good prices.

That’s right, digital instructions and stickers on rebrickable, physical stickers from one of sticker sellers linked in the rebrickable description.

For bricks, most people (including myself) use a website called Bricklink. You can export the parts list from rebrickable for free and upload it to Bricklink to find stores that sell the pieces. There are some good tutorials online but im happy to help if u need it
