This is shaping up to be a fantastic replica, congratulations thus far.
I'd be interested to know what the length and width of the vehicle will be when it's done?

Re: Torero's TRD Widebody Build Thread - Project Vendetta.
Thanks headcase (yours is amazing by the way).
Parkers.co.uk makes the MR2 4180mm x 1700mm (source: http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/f ... 1990/3908/) so ultimately approx. 4.3m x 1.77m with the kit on.
Big!

Re: Torero's TRD Widebody Build Thread - Project Vendetta.
Hello,
Excited to see this project develope
Looks a great job so far and very jelous
But I don't envy your position to choose a colour Must admit I do love the cosmos colour, was never a colour I considered myself until I looked at one to buy. When it's clean and waxed on a sunny day it is mega but I have alway thought a widebody would look on the side of epic in a nice metallic dark blue or gunmetal grey
Best of luck with the project moving forward

I take it'll be a bespoke thing?
This is going to be one badass car when it's done.

Re: Torero's TRD Widebody Build Thread - Project Vendetta.
I have to disagree Chris it's pretty awesome but the widebody is a rare beast and I think we can keep them a bit more individual....otherwise I would probaby go with white.Chris_9011 wrote:(I personally think it looks awful and you shouldn't even consider it )
Cheers Wilki I think it will be dark metallic blue as I think it looks quite rich even in subdued light.wilki wrote:I have alway thought a widebody would look on the side of epic in a nice metallic dark blue or gunmetal grey

A shame you did the petrol cap black I think headcase but the wheels are absolutely spot on.

This is just showing off!
John has been pimping out your skills to me for a long while... at this rate, as the build progress pics keep coming in, you might have another cosmos TRD to produce!

But it's carbon,as is bonnet,headlight tops,boot,engine cover,inspection panels,diffuser,rear panel,and spolier.
But I know what you mean I was in two minds when I made it but if it's gets on my pip I just make another one
Re: Torero's TRD Widebody Build Thread - Project Vendetta.
Wow these kits look sick. I bet the OP cannot wait to get this beast back!
Btw, performance blue is very nice.
I apparently can't post pics yet so try this;

Thanks Krawl, that's very nice. Similar to the Shelby Mustang Blue and pretty much the colour I'm trying to get.
Pretty much decided that if I can get this shade or similar I'm going to go with blue.
