Give it a go the whole proonky set me back about £20. And it will really finish of the bus . I found using pva glue best for the slabs as its easier to work with

I bought the standard street pavements them was are more for driveways. Here is the link I bought 2 bags and a bag of grout but decided not to use the grout. Two bags ate enough depending on your size of base you also have a few broken was as they are fragile but once glued down with pva there stack for good

i did consider doing that but that bonnet hinge assembly does look fiddly and i didn't want to risk not being able to get at it properly or breaking something whilst trying to get it on so just decided to wait till pack 7
