What I wasn't aware of (and seems to be speculated/confirmed about in this thread) is that the side panels containing the turn indicator and Roundel are also aluminum.

Actually, I should probably clarify that those parts are not metallic, that's all I know and should be my only claim. As to the actual material/composition, e.g. aluminum or otherwise, not sure.
