Can some please clarify if the latest update.. is it just the covers on the mercs that was in the special note that we can remove or doest it now mean we can move covers on other cars too?
Just reading in the manual under the section introduction section 14 "some access panels are secured with twist lock clips or similar and are designed to be opened easy to allow access etc

	You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.
