Torero's TRD Widebody Build Thread - Project Vendetta.

[synXero]

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?

when kitted up there about 70mm wider on the rear each side
and about 100mm longer

[synXero]

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!

This is really taking shape
It's looking good

[Chris_9011]

white or cosmos

nah, can't do white...

............

...white, for your consideration





(I personally think it looks awful and you shouldn't even consider it )

[wilki]

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

[craig]

Certainly taking shape pretty fast! Will be watching this one.

PS....Black!

Whatever you do don't go pearl, as if you need a panel respraying you have the devil's job trying to match it. Trust me on this one

Diffuser?

I take it'll be a bespoke thing?

This is going to be one badass car when it's done.

Yes custom colours are a pain my one was red with candy in laquer , chips on bumper means respary

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.

Cheers Wilki I think it will be dark metallic blue as I think it looks quite rich even in subdued light.

I dribble every time I see this, Pat. I must say it's even better in the flesh

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

It's carbon

[Racer7]

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

[Krawl]

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.

Or Dodge Viper blue pearl:
