I recently did a short walkaround of a Delorean. One thing you may consider to upgrade this a bit is to fill in the logo on the rear bumper with a bit of flat aluminium.

But is it like this on the BTFF version, it could be that the owner did this himself as it seems odd as to why this obvious feature would be missed on the partwork?

yes those decals on the number plate are tiny, i would have preferred wet decals, you can slide those. good luck with your build.
