Nice Design, With Some Flaws
" The set itself is beautiful. Well designed and accurately pays tribute to the iconic Fiat 500.
I am not a big fan of the use of stickers in lego sets, and there were quite a few used in this set.
The yellow strip stickers for the front windscreen pillars bother me in particular, as I believe that this could have been designed differently with the use of a flat yellow lego piece which would have looked a lot nicer, rather than a sticker.

The set I purchased had a few flaws. Firstly there is a variation in the colour of the yellow and maroon pieces (at least 3 shades of each can be found throughout the set) I am a perfectionist so seeing this inconsistency really bothers me.
Some pieces appear to be scratched. Every 2x2 curved slope (regardless of the colour) has the exact same markings, when I first noticed this I thought I received a damaged piece initially, but realised that these scratches were on every piece, so this may be an issue with the actual mould that is used to create the piece.
The clear piece used for the front windscreen came with quite a few visible white scratches, which really bother me as this is very obvious when the model is on display.
My sticker sheet also came damaged and had a black line through it. This is most visible on the luggage on rear of the vehicle.
I have a big collection of Lego and have never had any issues like this previously. I have always said that Lego have some of the best quality control of any company I have ever experienced. Of all the sets I own I have never had any issues (damage, missing pieces etc.) until purchasing this particular set. Whilst I hope this is a one off, it is still quite disappointing nonetheless.
