Firstly...
FINALLY 15 POSTS, had the car over 2 weeks now, been wanting to share my latest purchase with you all and that bloody 15 posts rule!
Well, here she is fellow MR2ers, and have been loving every minute since she arrived! Done too much driving and not enough picture taking until recently!
Having a little trouble verifying a few parts on her, so if anyone knows who makes the rear bumper / Wheels / weird little flap parts on the front of the sideskirts id be eternally grateful.
Enjoy:

Re: My Rev 3 Tintop Turbo "Tina"
Great choice of mix on the body kits!! Looks great pal..
I think a set of wheel spacers on the rear would finish the side profile of the car nicely!!
Cheers Craig

Re: My Rev 3 Tintop Turbo "Tina"
Absolutely agree with you on that, im just unsure what size spacers to go for, I was thinking 15 mm on front and 20mm on the rear.
Whilst its in there having those done, ill be getting the calipers painted, (red), wheel balancing, laser alignment, and the wheels refurbished. Now while the white looks badass, in reality they are an absolute nightmare to keep clean.
So I was thinking a anthracite refurb, thoughts anyone?
Or just persevere with the white on white?
(for the record, not the best photoshop ive ever done)

Re: My Rev 3 Tintop Turbo "Tina"
In my totally 100% honest opinion keep them white mate, it's so worth the hassle...
It really does look lovely just now.. Like you say, just a little more width on the rear and bingo

+1
But if you have to change it, either gloss black or a funky bright colour (lime/red/sky blue/purple etc)

I was thinking about getting some bronze TE37's
And then colour coding the engine bay to suit.

Re: My Rev 3 Tintop Turbo "Tina"
TE37s are great wheels but you sure pay for them. I've destroyed two before and it's a pretty painful experience
I echo the above. It's a good looking car and will a little work on the wheel widths/offsets it will be stunning

Great looking car- looks real clean, me like!!
Re: My Rev 3 Tintop Turbo "Tina"
Going to start using this thread (like others have done) to effectively contain everything to do with this car, effectively becoming more of a project thread.
So, the postman stopped by today and brought me some prezzies...
Should give the rear wheels a nice, and frankly much needed 20mm width boost, heres hoping the arches dont need rolling...

They'll do nicely
Out of interest - Why's the car called Tina?

Re: My Rev 3 Tintop Turbo "Tina"
ooooh.. they are going to transform the car as far as its stance is concerned.
Im still loving the white on white... its so fresh looking! my old man sometimes browses this forum and he actually commented on your car the other day to me saying he thought it looked really nice.
Thats something coming from the man who usually says everything is "alright" haha

Re: My Rev 3 Tintop Turbo "Tina"
Ha! Tell your old man thanks, sounds like quite the honor!
As for the spacers, cant wait to get them on, give her a nice fat a$$!
Im holding off though as im having a whole host of work done whilst its in there, such as balancing, wheel refurbish, laser alignment, geometry setup etc.
'fell swoop mentality' - may as well have it IN, than in, out, in, out, in, out and with it being all for supporting jobs it'd be cheaper in the long run too.
