NOTE: the MR-38 sticker sheet is die cut incorrectly and does not have the rear window sections divided into four parts, just two large windows pieces. If the sticker curves are placed into the corresponding plastic curved window edges the stickers will need to be cut to allow Mini Cooper Robo's legs to move when switching modes. Compare the complete sticker sheet VS the applied stickers. This may have been rectified in later releases.
Prototype with variant colour scheme and stickers.
