Ok the Rev1 didn't look great but a Rev 3/4/5 untouched looked great the minute it rolled out the factory


Hang on... lol.. The original MK2 rolled out looking pretty damn sweet, and I think quite a few prefer the original spoiler/lights and look of the rev1. :thumleft:


True. Perhaps i was being to harsh. Im sure back in 1989 when it rolled out the factory doors it looked awesome. :thumleft:

Agreed, MK3.. :pale:

Only one I like is I think the kitted one, veilside I think..

They should have just continued with the MK2, if it's not broke.. but then again, didn't they make the MK3 to appeal to younger drivers in the states? :roll:

I think the MK2 is just such a unique design, it's amazing and IMO the best designed japanese car, I wouldn't compare it to anything else.

I think the rev 3 lights were a good and due upgrade, looks far better but sometimes the rev1/2 lights still work/suite the some cars.

Long live the MK2!!

Just wondering was there ever a Rev6 or is that just a way of aftermarket light sellers marketing the rear led units?

I was also looking at it's rear clusters and thinking -round plug in a square hole. rev 1/2 rear clusters suit the back end so much better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I have a rev 3 and have Rev 1/2 lights on it with rev 2 spoiler and Autopista center section.

I personally prefer the Rev 1/2 back end, but each to their own. I hate the rev 3 spoiler that was on my car, seemed like an afterthought to me.

Again, all in my opinion. :wink:

Rev6 were just lights. Rev5 was the last one of the MK2 MR2.

I was looking at a rev1 today whilst in traffic and it was hard to spot that it was a G plate. Think of what was on the road in 1989 and compare the mk2 to some think like an astra or escort of the same era
