Thank you! I spent ages on getting the front done. I used sideways cheese slopes for the headlights like so:

This along with the wheel mounts is an illegal technique (not quite fitted completely).

The black 1x2 plates with cheese slopes are not completely connected to it, so I would classify it as an illegal technique, since it would not be used in a lego set. Too fragile.

Here is a little infographic with examples I found:
