Thats the idea, but I think your pic doesnt do it justice, when I did this mod it looked very good indeed, the MR2 glowed a subtle green and the fit was bang on

Nice work Peter. My last interior mod was a new i-pod player and cubby... I then felt lined the cubby, centre box and glove compartment. It's the little things that please.
It's looking good fella though I would have kept the orange fronts now you've done the calipers.

I dunno, I reckon the rev 5 clears and matching side repeaters really bring it up to date nicely. Looks cleaner too

Oops, my bad.

I actually used Dulux Metalshield paint.

I bought the clear repeaters and indicators second hand and they're not particularly good quality. The originals fit soooo much better.

I might smoke the originals and re-fit them. What do you reckon?

Ah right, are they not the original rev 4/5 lenses? just cheap crystal ones off ebay?

I wouldn't tint them, as it will look tacky and probably fail an MOT.

its actually better than it looks in the pic. Everything is illuminated blue on the dash with speedhut el glow dials. I want to spray the panel black so it goes with the rest of the dash. Looks good a night

They're the ones, but bought second hand, very cheap. One of the front corners is crystal, the other is Rev 4/5, all the rest, including the side repeaters are also crystal. They look ok but the originals generally fit better.

I'll leave them as they are for now and see how my mood takes me.

Just keep an eye out on eBay for a matching rev 4/5 clear front lense

The Corolla/Celica mk3 MR2 clear (not crystal) wing indicators are very good quality, and the black seal sits behind the lense unlike the Ebay crystal ones which have an ugly black seal around the edge. They also leak unlike the OEM ones. Try a scrappy/Ebay, they arent 'crystal' but far better quality

Peter your pics inspired me. Currently the exhaust on my turbo consists of a Berk 3" downpipe into a couple of feet long piece of 3" piping with no mufflers. Its acceptable volume at idle or cruise, but as soon as you even think about some boost

So I'm going to reuse the stock muffler, mine was like yours, stained and ugly. Wire brushed it to death, white spirits to clean it up, then hung it on the clothes line and painted it. Dried then used Autosol on the tips. Will get my exhaust shop to make me up a 3" stainless centre section.

Be warned!

This is how my exhaust turned out within a week of it being re-sprayed.



I suspect that the clear lacquer didn't get on with the exhaust temperature. I propose to allow a bit of time before sanding the box back and re-doing it, without the lacquer.

love the window strip painting in situ, looks sooo much better!
