This is my first review, so apologies if it's a bit ropey.
Anyway, this little "cheapie" was my first city purchase (recently had a baby boy, so starting his collection early (ahem) and by all accounts, for the money I think it's a decent little buy.
BUT 24 hours later I decided it annoyed me and I had to modify it a little, basically, I thought the lightbar sat too high and looked daft, I'm not really a fan of the one block space between the front and rear windows and, tbh the bonnet was a bit long for my liking, also, the kit came with a spare tr-blue and tr-red cheeser's. well it would have been rude not to use them!

So basically I've moved the windscreen forward 1 row and dropped the lightbar in the gap, ontop of the 4x2 that previously lived below the rear screen, that I've replaced with two grey l pieces, which gives the added bonus of freeing up space to store the radio!
Other than that little change though I like the "new" bits that come with this kit (new to me, anyway) the wheelarch pieces I actually quite like, the wheels are robust and fun, but the stickers. oh the stickers. well I guess I can live with them for now. tbh thought there really was no need for stickers in this kit, printed panels would surely have been easy.
Oh, and what's with that speed camera/radar thing? pah, straight in the spares bag (except the PRINTED speed reader panel, which is now the cars dashboard!)
So basically for the couple of quid I payed for it, it's a wicked little, fun, adaptable piece which can kickstart a lego addiction with ease and, as another brickset user said, you can never have too many Police cars! (he says blushing). definately a 4/5
