I agree in general -- esp. w/r/t the official 4-wide cars -- but not with respect to Pierre’s Element. The real thing has fairly pronounced circular wheel arches, and the arch piece more closely ties the model to the (not exactly handsome IMHO) real thing.

I took a look at the Element and I sure enough agree... I just realised too that I called the parts ‘window arches’... I guess that shows what I think they’re for ;) --snip--
