This is a converted Norev model that has been repainted white. The model has had a fluorescent yellow and matt black bonnet wrap added.
I have fitted livery to replicate one of their driving school cars. It includes the older design force crests in the rear windows. The model has accurate index plates, a 2D Models lightbar and airwave aerial on the roof.
I’ve added silver LEDs to the bottoms of the side mirrors, grill, side and rear windows. I had to recreate the red reflectors on the rear bumper after respraying it.

This is a converted Solido M5 model which has been repainted dark blue and had a bonnet wrap added. I’ve painted the radiator surround silver, removed the black roof in an attempt to make it look more like the police spec vehicle.
The model has florescent battenburg livery including details such as the Wiltshire Police crest, 101 logo on the rear door, RPU lettering to the sides/rear and the fleet number on the front wings - 007!
On the roof is a converted 2D Models lightbar. I’ve added three white lights to the front, and a clear traffic advisor to the rear. Mounted to it is a tracker. On the rear parcel shelf is a matrix message board. This is to match the spec of the real vehicle.
From photos I’ve found online the real car appears to be a one off in their fleet making this likely the only dark blue marked 5 series saloon anywhere in the country.

A converted Norev base model which has been resprayed white and interior changed from beige to black. I’ve painted a bonnet wrap and tinted the rear windows.
This was one of the first batch of marked v90s with black bonnets in the force. It features callsigns on all sides and the roof, along with the force crest on both doors. This vehicle has a number of additional lights which are replicated on the model, on the rear bumper, top of the rear window, side windows, dash light and in the grill.
On the roof is a 2D Models lightbar which I’ve added tracker to. The model has the correct number plates fitted.

This is a repainted Solido model that originally came as a metallic green BMW M5 with a black roof and mirrors. A handful of minor adjustments have been made the front grill and rear bumper to make them more in keeping with the standard 5 series. The roof and mirrors have since been painted the same as the body colour.
The vehicle was originally a BMW Authorities demonstrator before it was purchased by City of London Police. They used it initially as an ARV and now a Traffic car although it still carry’s ARV markings. It’s one of the few vehicles left on the fleet with the older style force crest which has a white backing. It features the old style callsign CP27 on the roof which is set out in an unusual format.
The model has a matt black and fluorescent bonnet wrap, airwave radio aerial, ANPR camera and a 2D Models lightbar fitted to the roof. Other details include the LEDs in the grill, rear side quarter windows and below the rear number plate.
