Default updated lego xb

original post: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...39082663cdff8f

Long story short, I was in FL for vacation and there was a lego store there, and they had a small car that I thought could be modded to be an xb... well, a couple months later, this is the final product.
enjoy.

Solar yellow Rs2



Polar white



Black



Envy green rs3



Blue



Red



Hot Lava Rs1 (looks darker in person)



Tinted windows is an option!



Decked out w/ roof rack, cf hood, cf spoiler and gold rims!



Two tone w/blue rims!



White rims

Dual exhaust



I will be following this up with a DIY for all those who want to make your own, as well as where to get your parts.

Otherwise if you send me a pic o' your ride, I can make it for ya and ship it to ya.

FYI: green and orange are pricey, cause the pieces needed are rare and only available in the uk.
White, black and yellow are tha cheapest to make.

#3010 (2 pieces) (color of car)


#3023 (2 pieces) (color of car)


#3031 (1 piece) (color of car) you need 2 if it's orange or if you need a roof rack


#3710 (5 pieces) (color of car) 6 needed if you don't want a spoiler


#6179 (1 piece) (color of car) not needed if you have roof rack


#3794 (1 piece) (color of car) 2 needed for dual exhaust


#3069b (1 piece) (color of car) none needed for dual exhaust


#3021 (2 pieces) (color of car)


#3024 (4 needed) -transparent red- 6 needed for full candied tails


#4073 (2 needed) -transparent clear-


#3023 (2 needed) -black or grey- depending on what color grills you want.


#4600 (2 needed) -black or grey

#3795 (2 needed) -black or grey- matched to grill color


#2540 (2 needed ) (color of car) not needed if you don't want a spoiler


#3068b (2 needed) (color of car)


#3024 (2 needed) (color of car)


#32028 (2 needed) only if you need green, the other spoiler is not available


#3024 (2 needed) -Transparent Clear- None needed if your are doing full candied tails.


#3004 (5 needed) -Transparent Clear or black-


#3039 (2 needed) -Transparent Clear or Black-


#30374 (2 needed) -black- Only if you want a roof-rack


#2555 (4 needed) -black- Only if you want a roof-rack


If you'd like to order these parts, go to: www.bricklink.com

It's a collaboration of stores, each with their own stock, so you'll have to hunt for some of the parts.

A Basic XB should have 53 pieces. Double-check your orders before you place them, cause you don't want to be 1 piece short, then you have to make another order, because most shops have a minimum for purchases.


Hit me up with any questions... I'll try to post a step by step DIY soon.

Depends on color and how many different orders you'd have to make (most places won't have EVERY piece you want) It took me 11 separate orders to get the xbs I have now. Granted, I have a bunch, but if you find a place that has ALL the pieces...
low end: 5.45ish plus shipping,
high end: 12.80ish plus shipping.
(things like colored rims, roof rack, hard to find pieces etc. will be a factor as well.)
Hope this helps.
