Description
A 1:8 scale supercar in electroplated purple is a statement piece, and this build commits to it. The bodywork is long and low, with the curves that make the P1 recognisable.
A demanding Technic-style build, and the scale means it takes up real shelf space. For a car enthusiast, that is the point — this is a model you display, not one you play with.
The build and the display
The electroplated finish is the reason to choose this version: the panels catch light differently from normal plastic, which is what gives it the show-car look. Handle it with clean hands during the build to avoid fingerprints on the plated parts.
What to expect when it arrives
Pieces come in sealed bags with a printed instruction booklet, numbered to the build stages so you can work through the manual in order without opening everything at once. If a part is missing or arrives damaged, message the seller through the platform and a replacement is arranged — you do not need to finish the build first.
How ordering works
Every button on this page opens the independent Hipobuy buying platform. Payment, quality-check photos, international shipping and tracking are handled there under your own account. spreadsheetshipobuy.com does not hold stock and does not ship the set itself — we document the listing so you can compare it using the same information a buying agent would see.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an official LEGO set?
No. These are third-party building sets made from bricks compatible with standard LEGO elements, which is why they can be offered at a fraction of the price. They are not manufactured, licensed or endorsed by the LEGO Group.
Will the pieces fit my existing bricks?
Yes. The bricks follow the standard stud-and-tube geometry, so they connect with most major building block brands. Clutch strength can vary slightly between manufacturers, which is normal for compatible sets and rarely a problem in practice.
How long does delivery take?
It depends on the shipping line you pick on the platform — usually two to four weeks for standard international lines after the seller dispatches. Tracking appears in your platform account once the parcel leaves the warehouse.

I bumped it while dusting and it stayed together, which I did not expect. The instruction booklet arrived flat and undamaged, which matters more than it sounds. Happy to recommend it to anyone on the fence.

Fun from the first bag to the last, and a little sad when the final piece went on. It matches the listing photos, and in person the colors are a little richer. Easy to take apart and store flat if space ever gets tight. Already eyeing another set from the same series.

Just a heads-up: a couple of angled pieces shift slightly if you bump the shelf. Even the underside of the model is finished properly, which says a lot about the quality control. For a fraction of what the official version costs, the detail is remarkably close. Every piece clicked together with the right amount of pressure — snug, but never so tight that it hurt my fingers. Four stars, and I would order from this series again.
