Thought this deserved a separate thread.
Over the moon with it!
The camera really doesn't pick up the extent of how pearly the paint is!!

Just out of interest did you have to put wheel spaces on or are they wide rims?
I'm desperately hopping my 2 will pass it's mot friday it's been off the road for 4 years parked in my garage and spend the last 3 months going through it all.

Re: My new paint
Looks like a decent job mate! I've actually did one myself as well a few years back but I really don't have the patience for it. Yeah I have spacers, 40mm on the front and 60mm on the rear. I just couldn't afford the proper sized wheels at the time and I also loooove the Lenso D1R Which isn't available in the correct size

Re: My new paint
Abflug never actually made fenders for the mr2 at all. They only made skirts, lip and spats. Some genius a good few year back modified R32 skyline Abflug arches to fit the mr2 and they just seemed to stick. Mr2 ben makes them these days

Re: My new paint
cheers mate, there's a few wee bits where there's paint on window rubber etc but overall i'm pretty pleased. it wasn't a bare shell job and it was cheap so i'm not gonna complain!! Mapping on the 10th then i'm probably gonna fit new shocks and spring and bushes as soon as possible. i'm starting to get pi$$ed off with the ride already
I am however loving the aggressiveness of it

That's crazy i always thought they made an MR2 specific set, They work so well on them. Learn something new every day.
Re: My new paint
This looks spot on Ryan
Out of interest what wheels are you running and which front bumper?

Yeah I thought the same until I was told about this. They were modified to fit the mr2 of course.

Hi mate, It's a border front bumper (copy). Mr2 ben sells them.
The wheels are Lenso D1R Which I've had powder coated in white. They are 17 inch and only 7 inch wide. I have 60mm spacers on the rear and 40mm spacers on the front
