i'm all for keeping it (mostly) period correct.. if I wanted LED's, HID's, DRL's, modern wheels etc i'd go and buy a 3 year old audi
surely the charm of a retro, nearly classic, 90's sports car is that it's a 90's sports car?
I can't wait to get rid of my clear lenses and return to the correct amber lights

Re: Bringing your MR2 into the new year and the 21st century
Even those of us that have modified our 2s, they still have the charm and keep the "essence" of the styling
I like all the styles to be honest, as i love the variations on a theme, and the most important thing, is.........its a 2 being looked after!

That's a negative, Jim. I do not have the measles.

Argreed a period part, still I'm my opinion smooths car even more like a modern car. Yours is very nice, shame you don't have toms spoiler too.

thanks for the compliments, I would like a toms spoiler but people want crack pipe money for them. I've got a bomex drift wing in the garage but
I'm not sure if I like it anymore? I keep toying with the idea of going spoiler-less too...
I would sell my soul for a phoenix power rear wing though

Re: Bringing your MR2 into the new year and the 21st century
I actually have a rev3 original toms spoiler sat in garage I'm deciding what to do with lol.
Can't decide if its worth having the holes from my rev2 set up filled and painted to fit the toms.

Re: Bringing your MR2 into the new year and the 21st century
I see alot of Jap import turbos and G-Limited versions in the UK with bodykits, different wheels and lowered suspension and I suppose because of the age of the cars it's difficult to find ones that are original factory stock ones, let alone just a few modern tweeks.
I have found if in excellent condition (not just washed recently) but properly looked after, they tend to fetch really good money too. Especially some of the late Rev 3,4,5 Turbos.

I think yours would look ace with a Rev5 wing. Not sure how much they go for these days, surely not as much as a TOM'S item?
