On page 27 of the instructions you have to place the large black plate on the frame. However, there are no other pieces registering its location. Make sure you have it centered! Unfortunately I placed it one stud forward.
I didn't realize my mistake until page 227 when you're supposed to place two corner pieces in a gap which didn't exist on my model. Now I have to pretty much disassemble the whole thing to fix it. I have put together hundreds of Lego sets and around ten of the big car sets. I've never made a mistake to this degree.
I'm going to blame the design/instructions on this one. I'm not sure how I progressed so far into the build without issue. It is super frustrating to now have to rebuild it without the benefit of numbered bags.
I would recommend this to a friend!

LEGO quality has declined dramatically

Verified Purchase:No
I've been building LEGOs for a long time-my Rebrickable is well over 20,000 dollars, & this will be my last LEGO purchase. All of the black flat panels are milky, & show the ghost rings of the underneath. The only black pieces in the set are the female hinge flats for the trunk-which stand out like a sore thumb. I don't know what happened to LEGO, but from now on I'll find another hobby. I don't want a refund, or another set-I just want to warn other serious builders against this set. I hope they fix the quality issues, but I'm not going to spend my money to find out.
The car overall was a pleasure to build. It all fit well with no sketchy segments unlike the latest Lambo build that you can’t touch without pieces falling off. The only disappointment was the steering wheel which is nothing like the original Bat Mobile wheel that was more like a bow tie. Otherwise lots of fun and durable!
