Lily Marker (Melange X3)
Lily Marker was the daughter of Flash Marker, Sr., a driver who was killed by a team called the Three Roses Club. Her brother, Flash Marker Jr., rebuilt his father's car, called the Melange X3, to enter in a race and kill the Three Roses Club drivers. He controlled the car by remote control, and had Lily pretend to be its driver.
I had tried to make the X3 earlier, with dark blue instead of black and sand blue instead of grey, but gave up because the right parts didn't exist in the right colors. I then realized that due to the sometimes ambiguous colors of the anime, I could make the car with black and grey.
The car was supposed to be named after a horse owned by Napoleon. I have recently learned that the horse was actually called "Marengo," and that the name "Melange" was a translation error.
Sorry about the back part of the car being so blurry. It was rather hard to photograph.

How did you make the front grille?

^I'm not entirely sure if this was the actual way I did it, but something you could do that would work just as well and look more or less the same would be to have a headlight brick in the middle, put two 1x1 plates on the front of it, put a jumper on those (only half of the jumper would be attached to them), and put a 1x4 plate on the jumper so it's got a 1/2 stud offset. For the sides, put two jumpers, one on either side, next to the one in the middle, each facing out. On each of those, put two 1x1 plates on the sides, and then put a 1x2 tile on either one of those I hope that's clear enough, but if it's not, tell me, and I'll try to upload a picture of what I mean some time in the next few days.
